Hadassah has launched its second class of Evolve Leadership Fellows, welcoming a cohort of women in their 20s, 30s and 40s from around the country who are dedicated to Hadassah's mission — to ensure Israel's security, combat antisemitism and advocate for women's health care — and have the skills needed to lead the organization into the future.
Throughout the two-year program, Fellows will meet with Hadassah's national leaders and experience Hadassah's programs and initiatives firsthand, travel to Israel and visit Hadassah's hospitals and Youth Aliyah villages, and commit to taking on a leadership position or special project in their Hadassah chapter.
"As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, I feel passionately about advancing the critical causes Hadassah stands for," said Sarah Popper, a new Evolve Fellow. "I hope the new skills I will learn through the fellowship will enable me to make a positive impact as a Hadassah leader in the future."
"Especially during this time of crisis for Israel, we look forward to the positive impact our new fellows will have on Hadassah's future as we work toward tikkun olam, the repair of the world," said Hadassah National PresidentRhoda Smolow.
The fellows, who work in a diverse range of professions, including fashion, civil litigation, elder care, engineering, marketing, risk management and Jewish communal life, underwent an extensive application and interview process to be admitted.
