Dulcie grew up in Detroit and graduated from
Central High School and the University of Michigan.
She and her late husband, Norman, raised four chil-
dren. And she still found time to serve on the boards
of Jewish Home and Aging Services, the Jewish
Community Center, Jewish Community Council,
Jewish Vocational Service, Agency for Jewish Education
and the Sinai Hospital Guild. Her volunteer work has
touched Greening of Detroit, Friends of Hillel at the
University of Michigan, the Detroit Historical Society,
Gleaners, United Way and so many other organizations.
“Dulcie is a brilliant woman,” Brown said. “She saw
that she could make a difference 30 years ago, and she
took action by bringing her network together. A lot
of people have great thoughts, but they don’t put their
thoughts into action, and she did. She made a long-last-
ing impact for Gleaners and all of Southeast Michigan.”
Mary Culler, president of the Ford Motor Company
Fund and chair of Michigan Central, served as this
year’s keynote speaker. Fox 2’s Amy Andrews emceed.
Following coffee and networking, opening remarks and
a short program, there were breakout sessions focused
on topics including strength in building strategic part-
nerships, pivoting content and communicating impact
in the digital age, the power of transformational proj-
ects, and how to support and empower female leader-
ship. The event’s presenting sponsor was PNC Bank.
As the program wrapped up and the crowd of mostly
women mingled and dispersed, Rosenfeld posed for a
few parting pictures. Wearing a white collared shirt, a
peach-colored sweater and a knowing smile, she quietly
left the event she started three decades ago. How does
she really feel about the enormity of it all? Rosenfeld
won’t let on. Let’s hope she feels proud … and powerful.

of dollars to help feed local
children and families in need.
