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.
