Social innovator and former education policymaker Rebecca Fishman Lipsey is the President and CEO of The Miami Foundation, which serves as a home base for generosity and community impact for Greater Miami. The Foundation has invested over $900 million toward strengthening Miami since inception, and works to mobilize everyone who lives, works, and plays in Miami to get involved and give back meaningfully here.
Depi nominasyon li an 2020, Rebecca ogmante byen Fondasyon an plis pase 50%, sa li di se grasa pouvwa kolaborasyon an ak yon ekip ki gen kè kontan. Rebecca entegre yon angajman pou ekite ak enpak kolektif nan chak inisyativ nan Fondasyon an, epi kounye a li konsantre sou bati yon baz fizik pou fòs òganizasyon san bi likratif ak solisyon kominotè.
Anvan Rebecca te dirije Fondasyon Miami an, li te fonde Radical Partners, yon enkibatè pou antrepriz ki gen enpak sosyal. Li te kòmanse karyè li kòm pwofesè lekòl piblik, enspire pa eksperyans granparan li yo kòm refijye sa gen plizyè ane. Apati 2013, Rebecca te sèvi pandan 4 ane nan Konsèy Edikasyon Florid la, kote li te sipèvize politik edikasyonèl ki gen enpak sou 3 milyon timoun depi jadendanfan rive nan inivèsite, e li di se paske li te montre l kijan li difisil pou dirije chanjman nan nivo sistèm nan, e poukisa li vo lapenn fè sa.
Angajman Rebecca pou amelyore Miami te fè l resevwa anpil prim ak felisitasyon, tankou prim "Ultimate CEO" South Florida Business Journal 2024 South Florida, prim "In the Company of Women Mayor's Pioneer Award" Miami-Dade County, "Silver Medallion" Mosaic Miami, prim "Florida 500" Florida Trend, prim "Best Non-Profit Executive" pa The International Stevie Award for Women in Business, prim "Best Role Model" pa Miami Today , ak prim "20 Under 40" pa The Miami Herald . Men, si ou mande Rebecca, pi gwo reyalizasyon li se elve de jèn tigason ki se moun ki janti tout bon.
Rebecca she was valedictorian of her University of Pennsylvania undergraduate class, and holds a masters degree from Bank Street College of Education. When she’s not building a stronger Miami, you can find her banging on the piano, walking ‘round the neighborhood with her husband of 22 years, and playing ping pong with her boys.
