Rothman Hired as Managing Director of Hadassah Super South

Hadassah Greater Atlanta is pleased to announce that Lauren Rothman has been named managing director of Hadassah Super South, responsible for the operation of 46 Hadassah chapters comprising more than 15,000 Hadassah members. The geographic area Rothman will oversee comprises Alabama, Arkansas, the Florida Panhandle, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, most of North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, part of West Virginia, and all of Southern Virginia.

Rothman comes from a multigenerational Hadassah family and previously served as managing director of Hadassah West. She has been with Hadassah for a total of nearly two decades. In Hadassah’s Super South, Rothman will work with the staff and local volunteer leaders to advance Hadassah’s mission – to stand up for Israel, fight antisemitism, advocate for women’s health, and support the Hadassah Medical Organization, Hadassah’s academic medical center in Jerusalem.

Ellen Finkelstein, CEO, Hadassah, said, “We are fortunate to be able to bring Lauren’s exceptional skills and experience to bear on the critical role of managing director of Hadassah Super South. I know she will bring excellence and insight into her new role.

Terry Nordin, president of Hadassah Greater Atlanta, states, “We extend a warm southern welcome to Lauren and are excited to work with her.”

Rothman explains, “Hadassah gives women the opportunity to grow and become agents of change. I look forward to introducing new women to this incredible organization and to continuing the work of advocating for women’s health equity, Israel and Zionism.”

Simone Wilker, advocacy chair for Hadassah Southeastern Region, said, “We would like the Atlanta community to learn that on June 13, Hadassah’s Gandel Rehabilitation Hospital Mount Scopus in Jerusalem, nicknamed the “God Forbid Hospital,” became the “Thank God Hospital.” The Center was transformed into an emergency hospital. Hadassah staff worked around the clock. The doctors and nurses are Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and the same for the patients. Patient care continued without a pause when emergency sirens warning of enemy missiles or drones sounded.”
