Honoring
Highland Park Mayor
Nancy Rotering
Irving B. Harris Leadership Award
This year we are thrilled to honor Nancy Rotering, Highland Park Mayor. As the first woman elected mayor of Highland Park, Nancy reformed city government, prioritizing collaboration and ethics and led the city’s effort to ban assault weapons in 2013. An attorney for over 30 years, Nancy founded the North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic, which provides free legal services for thousands of vulnerable Illinois residents. In addition to serving as mayor, she teaches at Northwestern University and was recognized as the 2022 Outstanding Instructor. Nancy and her husband Rob have four sons.
Jodi Newmark
What's Possible Award
This year we are honoring Jodi Newmark, the Director of Encompass, which is a Jewish United Fund initiative that works to expand community-based services for adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) so they can fully participate in our Jewish community. In 2013, knowing that more needed to be done to ensure a better future for adults with I/DD and their family members, Jodi and other community leaders formed Encompass. Actively engaged in community planning, advocacy and inclusion, Encompass has raised over $5 million for Jewish adults who cannot afford the services they need and deserve. Jodi and her husband, Gregg, have four children and live in Glencoe.
