"At a time when our world faces so many crises and challenges, I am convinced that the leadership, intelligence and vision of women — especially Hadassah women — are desperately needed." These are the inspiring words of our new CEO/Executive Director Naomi Adler, and you can learn more about her vision for Hadassah in this Hadassah Magazine interview.
Observing the incredible Hadassah programming taking place both nationally and locally, Naomi emphasized that, "There are unique opportunities for each of us to learn, donate, socialize and advocate." This was exemplified by the amazing efforts by our members around the country to educate more people about breast cancer risk and prevention, and to raise funds for Hadassah's hospitals for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
