NCJW Dallas names Mary Pat Higgins, President & CEO of Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum, its 2022 Pioneering Partner award recipient.

October 19, 2021 – DALLAS: National Council of Jewish Women, Greater Dallas, is delighted to announce
that it will present its 2022 Pioneering Partner Award to Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum President and CEO Mary Pat Higgins at its 109th Birthday Luncheon on January 21, 2022, at the Westin Galleria.

Higgins is being honored for her work leading the transformation of this vital Dallas resource into a nationally
recognized center for Holocaust and social justice education. Like NCJW, Mary Pat Higgins and the Holocaust and Human Rights Museum are committed to safeguarding individual rights and freedoms and through education seek to combat prejudice, hatred, and indifference.

The luncheon event, themed “109 years of Building Brighter Futures!” will also feature Warzone photojournalist, Emmy-winning TV news producer, and New York Times bestselling author Deborah Copaken as its keynote speaker.

Since its founding in 1913, NCJW Dallas volunteers have developed ground-breaking programs such as HIPPY, a school readiness program for parents of preschoolers; Kids in Court for children who must testify against their abusers; Food + Fit=Fun to combat childhood obesity; and most recently, The Suitcase Project for survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence. Additionally, our multi-partner West Dallas Initiative
provides clothing, supplies and services to families in this high-poverty neighborhood.
