The National Council of Jewish Women will present the Hannah G. Solomon Award to Rose Rustin June 8 at the Portland Section’s annual meeting.

The Hannah G. Solomon award is the highest award that NCJW bestows.

Rustin’s first job on the NCJW board was chair of the WICS Project, which led to her election to the national board of WICS (Women in Community Service). She served as president of the Portland Section, following which she served four years on the national board of NCJW. For two of those years, she sat on the executive committee, where her portfolio included section board training and leadership development for what was then the Western District of NCJW.

Rustin has done board training, leadership development and future planning workshops for various volunteer organizations in Portland. She served on the board of Congregation Beth Israel for eight years, finishing with a two-year term as president. After a hiatus of a few years, Rustin is back on the Portland Section Board.
