THE FRANK A. WETSMAN 
YOUNG LEADERSHIP 
AWARD: 
ANDREW SHERMAN 
In 1961, Lillian Wetsman 
and her son, William M. 
Wetsman, established 
the Frank A. Wetsman 
Award as a memorial to 
their beloved husband and 
father. The award annually 
recognizes a young man who 
demonstrates exceptional 
leadership potential, as well 
as interest in and service 
to Federation, its partner 
agencies and Federation’s 

Annual Campaign. 

For Andrew Sherman, 
stepping up to advance the 
well-being of the Jewish 
people is a foundational 
family value. The grandson 
of community leader Jane 
Sherman and great-grandson 
of Max M. Fisher, David 
grew up steeped in Jewish 
tradition and commitment.
Following college, he 
immersed himself in 
Federation’s NEXTGen 
Detroit division, serving 
as co-chair of the Detroit 
division of the national 
Young Leadership Cabinet 
and chair of the EPIC event. 
In addition to his 
Federation initiatives, 
Andrew is a board member 
at University of Michigan 
Hillel and a trustee of the 
Max M. and Marjorie S. 
Fisher Foundation — the 
first fourth-generation 
member of his family to join. 
A local real estate 
professional and lifelong 
sports enthusiast, Andrew 
and his wife, Allie, have four 
children. 

 

MANDELL AND 
MADELEINE 
BERMAN AWARD 
FOR OUTSTANDING 
PROFESSIONAL SERVICE: 
 

JONATHAN LOWE 
Madge and Bill Berman, 
both of blessed memory, 
established this award 
in 1988 in an effort 
to acknowledge our 
professional partners 
and share their many 
accomplishments with the 
Detroit Jewish community. 
 Over the years, recipients 
of the Berman Award 
have been individuals who 
demonstrate a passion 
for Jewish traditions, a 
deep commitment to the 
community and boundless 
energy for their chosen 
work. Most of all, they have 
made a deep impact on the 

organization and community 
they serve. 
As director of Planned 
Giving for the Jewish 
Federation of Detroit, 
Jonathan Lowe has spent 30 
years building a career out of 
caring. His efforts have led to 
the establishment of essential 
programs across many 
organizations, including 
Tamarack Camps, The J, the 
Hillels on Campus and JSL, 
directly benefiting thousands 
of individuals and families. 
One of his most notable 
achievements is the 
establishment of the Brown 
Center for Adult Day Care 
Services. Today and for many 
years to come, it will remain 
a testament to Jonathan’s 
ability to marshal both 
people and resources toward 
a common good. 
Jonathan is a valued friend 
and mentor to his many 
colleagues, a loving husband 
to his wife, Beth, and a 
caring father to his sons.
