THE PRESIDENT Dolores Kohl, Chair and President: Inherited a spirit of giving and helping others from her Jewish immigrant parents, Max and Mary Kohl. Launching the Foundation in 1974, she brought all her resources — money, yes, but new thinking, connections, and her teaching background — to take an active, full-time role, going beyond making grants to running Foundation projects. She collaborates with educators all over the world, including members of the Foundation advisory board. |
