Leadership with Purpose —
Navigating Public Service Rooted in Jewish Values and Whole-person Care
with Former CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen

Thursday September 11 | Doors at 6:30, Event begins at 7pm
$20 advance tickets / $25 at the door
Hosted at The Levin JCC, 1937 W. Cornwallis Road, Durham NC 27705

Join us for a meaningful and engaging evening as we welcome North Carolina's own Dr. Mandy Cohen to speak about her incredible experience about navigating public service rooted in Jewish values and whole-person care.

In this exlusive IGNITE Presents fireside chat, Dr. Cohen will reflect on her path through medicine, public service, and leadership on the national stage during some of the most challenging moments in recent history.

Moderated by Durham native Rebecca Feinglos, this intimate conversation will explore how values like compassion, equity, and responsibility shape decision-making — and why personal identity and purpose matter in professional life.

Audience members will be invited to participate in live Q&A during the session. Drinks and light refreshments will be served.

Whether you're passionate about healthcare, leadership, Jewish life, or simply showing up with purpose, you do NOT want to miss this dynamic conversation.
