Chairwoman's Greetings

CHAIRWOMAN’S

GREETINGS

As the newly elected Chairwoman of the Board of Governors, I am delighted to extend my greetings to our Tel Aviv University community of Governors, Friends, supporters, alumni, faculty and students. My election symbolizes several “firsts”: I am the first woman chair, first alumna chair, and first second-generation TAU donor to hold this post. As Co-Chair of the TAU Global Campaign until last year, and in my new position, my overarching goal is to widen the circle of support for the University. Giving is my passion, and especially making it the passion of others. To that end, I will be focusing my work on increasing the engagement of Governors in the day-to-day operations and development plans of the University through the Board Committees; on identifying every opportunity to spotlight outstanding projects at TAU, particularly in society-oriented areas such as equal opportunity education and gender equality in STEM fields; on realizing the vast potential of alumni to partner with TAU in strengthening impact; and on assisting the University to advance research and teaching of the highest academic standards, for the benefit of Israel and the world. At the end of the day, our goal is to effect positive change not only for individuals but for entire communities and, indeed, humanity. I feel fortunate and privileged to be leading a committed global network of TAU supporters. I believe that our collective power is much greater than the sum of its parts, and that, together, we will succeed in bringing TAU and Israel’s contribution to new heights
