Julie Gertler Receives National Council of Jewish Women’s Hannah G. Solomon Award

On Saturday, October 24, 2009, Consensus Inc. Founder and CEO Julie Gertler was presented with the prestigious Hannah G. Solomon Award by the Los Angeles chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW).

At a dinner celebrating the NCJW’s 100^th anniversary, Los Angeles City Controller Wendy Greuel presented Julie with the esteemed award given annually to a woman who has helped to change and expand the role of other women in vital areas of community life, and whose leadership has motivated others to fight for change.

The award commemorates the spirit of Hannah G. Solomon, who established the NCJW in 1893.

Ms. Solomon, an early social activist, led the organization in its landmark battles for laws restricting child labor, for child welfare programs, and for improved housing, education, and health care for the poor.
