Betty Ann Greenbaum Miller z”l, whose life and legacy exemplified leadership and compassion, was a founding member of the Center for Interreligious and Communal Leadership Education (CIRCLE) at Hebrew College, served on the board of The Rashi School, the Advisory Council for JF&CS’s Jewish Healing Connections, and was a member of the National Association of Jewish Chaplains.
The evening will feature former Boston Globe writer and Pulitzer Prize winner Ellen Goodman, who has spent most of her life as a keen observer, chronicling the way families, women’s lives, the media and values have been transformed over the turbulent past generation. An innovative force in American journalism, commenting on the tumult and impact of social change, Ms. Goodman began writing her syndicated column for The Boston Globe in 1974. Shattering the exclusive mold of men writing about politics, she was one of the first women to open up the op-ed pages to women’s voices. Now, as founder of The Conversation Project, she shares insights and inspiration, encouraging families and individuals to tell their stories and express their wishes for end of life care.
