Suzy & Wally Marks, Jr. z"l 2022 Trailblazer Awards

We are gathering at the beautiful Skirball Cultural Center for our annual Suzy and Wally Marks, Jr. z"l Trailblazer Awards! We will honor two individuals who were instrumental in NewGround's founding:

Salam Al-Marayati

President of the Muslim Public Affairs Council

&

Daniel Sokatch

CEO of the New Israel Fund

Further, we are proud to celebrate two NewGround alumni who engaged in last year's Courage Accelerator Program, our special fellowship focusing on confronting bias and racism in our communities:

Maya Barron

Courage Accelerator Fellow

&

Umar Hakim Dey

Courage Accelerator Advisory Board

To celebrate our 15th anniversary, we are holding our first major in-person event since 2019. Come hear Daniel and Salam in conversation with another of our founders, Brie Loskota, Executive Director of the Martin Marty Center for the Public Understanding of Religion at University of Chicago.
