Generously funded by the Harry Kay Foundation, Minneapolis Jewish Federation and St. Paul Jewish Federation, for more than 25 years, the Harry Kay Center for Leadership Excellence (HKCLE) has inspired and assisted emerging leaders in addressing the issues and challenges facing Jews as a community and individually. In 2016, the HKCLE took on two major projects: launching the ninth cohort of the Harry Kay Leadership Institute and introducing the Harry Kay Alumni Network.
The successes of the HKCLE in the past two years have brought passionate people together from both sides of the river, introduced a new generation of leaders to the struggles and opportunities in the Jewish community and given them the skills and tools to navigate them, and raised the profile of Jewish organizations here in the Twin Cities and around the world.
In 2019, we’re welcoming 40 new leaders to the Harry Kay Family—meet Cohort X.
