“Less than three months after the most devastating day in Israel’s history, I stepped into the role of National President of Hadassah.” 💙
On January 1, 2024, Carol Ann Schwartz began her leadership journey during one of the most difficult moments for Israel and the Jewish people. Just five days later, she was on the ground in Israel, leading a week-long Hadassah solidarity mission alongside members and supporters from eight countries.
Her Hadassah story began in 1991 in Cincinnati with one simple goal: to make a difference and connect with women who shared her values.
Today, she represents Hadassah at some of the most influential tables in the world.
“What Hadassah makes possible through its extraordinary mission and for the people who power it is immeasurable. It’s Lifechanging each and every day.”
