We are looking forward to celebrating two amazing leaders on June 2nd!

Mazel Tov to our 2026 Herb Kohl Service Award recipients: Robert Habush and Judge Derek Mosley. These two extraordinary leaders exemplify lifelong commitments to service, philanthropy, and community impact.

In partnership with Herb Kohl Philanthropies, MJF will honor Habush and Mosley at the June 2 Economic Forum.

These honorees represent the very best of Milwaukee — leaders who have dedicated their lives to uplifting others, building bridges, and strengthening the institutions that sustain community life. Their leadership reminds us of the power of service, the importance of community, and the enduring impact of those who dedicate their lives to making the world a better place. Their work reflects the core values that defined Herb Kohl’s legacy and continue to inspire future generations.
