The Harry Kay Leadership Institute Class of 2011-13 Announced

What will the future of our Jewish community look like? If the dynamic group of 32 young Jewish adults chosen to participate in the Harry Kay Leadership Institute Class of 2011-13 have anything to say about it, we should all feel optimistic. 

The Institute, which has been shaping our community's future leaders for many years, gives ambitious 25-45 year-olds the tools they need to develop leadership skills, gain a deeper understanding of our local and overseas Jewish communities, and learn to effectively address the issues and challenges facing us today as a Jewish people. This year's class was carefully selected from a pool of more than 80 candidates nominated by local agencies, synagogues, and community leaders. 

The Harry Kay Leadership Institute is a joint initiative of the Minneapolis Jewish Federation and the United Jewish Fund and Council of St. Paul and is supported by the Harry Kay Foundation.
