women around
the world created
Anne Firth

Murray
for the many
women's funds
that followed. Her book Paradigm
Found: Leading and Managing for
Positive Change charts her journey
with the Global Fund for Women
and offers insights to all involved in
organizational work.

"In 1999, the JWF invited the
community to 'imagine the pos-
sibilities' of Jewish women coming
together to make a difference in the
lives of other Jewish women," said
Trudi Wineman, JWF chair. "Since
that time, the JWF has grown to
more than 200 trustees and alum-
nae. Since our founding year, JWF
trustees have awarded more than
$1.2 million in grants and alloca-
tions to benefit Jewish women and
girls locally and in Israel."
Event co-chairs are Debra Singer
and Stacy Brickman, both of West
Bloomfield.
The event begins at 9:30 a.m.
