ongtime volunteer and com-
munity leader Susie Pappas
has been named Detroit hon-
oree for the Kipnis-Wilson/Friedland
Award, to be pre-
sented in November
at the International
Lion of Judah
Conference.

The award is
presented by the
National Women's
Philanthropy
Susie Pappas
Board of the Jewish
Federations of
North America. It recognizes extraor-
dinary women who have set the
standard for philanthropy and volun-
teerism.
Pappas, of Bloomfield Hills, has
worked for many years with Jewish
organizations throughout Metro
Detroit and is a strong supporter
of the State of Israel. She has been
especially involved in the Federation's
Women's Department, where she
was chair of numerous committees
as well as serving as the depart-
ment's Campaign chair and president.

Among Pappas' projects was the
Mosaic Mission, a Federation trip
to Israel that recruited and devel-
oped younger leadership within the
Women's Division.
"Susie exemplifies the best in
leadership and commitment to the
Jewish community:' said Marcie Orley,
president of the Federation's Women's
Department. "Her tenure as Women's
Department president was marked
by increased participation and giving
by younger women. Thanks to Susie's
efforts, we now have a significant
group of younger lions. She is an
incredibly deserving Kipnis-Wilson/
Freidland awardee."
In addition to her support for
the Federation, Pappas has served
on the local boards of the Jewish
Family Service, Hebrew Free
Loan Association and the Jewish
Community Center.
She has chaired donor events
for Israel's Bar-Ilan University, Yad
Ezra in Berkley and the Weizmann
Institute of Science in Rehovot. She
is a founding member of the Detroit
Jewish Women's Foundation. O
