Named for the founders of Federation’s young leadership division, the award has honored dozens of young leaders in the Palm Beaches who have continued building toward the Levys’ vision of a strong, vibrant Jewish community.
Recognizes young leaders who devote time and energy to better the Jewish community of the Palm Beaches
Community leaders Andrew Alminana and Jillian Benson received the Robert S. and Ceil N. Levy Young Leadership Award, honoring outstanding individuals under the age of 45 for their service to our community. Andrew is a graduate of the Emerging Leadership Program (ELP) Cohort 7, Mandel Leadership Institute Cohort 3 and is the incoming Business and Professionals Chair.
Jillian, also a graduate of ELP Cohort 7, was recognized for her roles as a Women’s Philanthropy Executive Committee member, Jewish Federations’ National Young Leadership Cabinet member and Co-Chair of our Ben-Gurion Society.
“It’s emotional to me to see young leaders providing hope that the Jewish heritage will continue.”
