THE JACK & LOIS KRAVITZ FUND FOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

The Jack and Lois Kravitz Fund for Leadership Development of the Dallas Jewish Community Foundation was established to enhance the development of Jewish lay and professional leadership in Dallas. The fund was established in 1984 by many friends of Jack and Lois Kravitz in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary. Jack was the executive director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas from 1943 to 1973.

This fund supports programs in Dallas dedicated to volunteer leadership training. Local or outside experts, lay or professional, may be involved in these programs. Funds can also be used to enable individuals, lay or professional, to undertake special training in leadership development.
