In April, Richmond started her new job as Hadassah Midwest’s senior manager for member out- reach and community engagement. She replaced Evelyn Diskin, who retired in March after 28 years as executive director for Greater Detroit Hadassah. More than 100 years old, Hadassah is the largest women’s organization in the country, with more than 330,000 members.

Richmond and her colleagues on Hadassah’s professional manage- ment staff hope to reverse the decline by making the organization more attractive to women in their 30s, 40s and 50s. Hadassah has been restructured under its national umbrella so that expertise in membership, fund- raising, programming and other functions can be shared, with professional staff operating out of six national offices. Smaller cities will be able to get staff support they never had before. In Hadassah Midwest, which stretches from Pittsburgh through the Great Plains and Upper Midwest, only one person has the title executive director, Ronna Ash, who works from Hadassah’s Chicago North Shore office. Like Ash, Richmond is responsible for all chapters in Hadassah Midwest, not only for Detroit. The other Greater Detroit staff positions have also evolved. Emily Morgan, 36, of Huntington Woods, administrative assistant, has replaced special projects manager Bobbie Malin, who retired in 2017 after 30 years. And when office manager Gail Katz retires Oct. 5 after 19 years, her position will be redefined to put greater emphasis on social media and digital com- munication. Richmond, 53, grew up in Southfield and graduated from Southfield-Lathrup High School.
