With the Henry W. Bloch Human Relations Award, JCRB|AJC is proud to honor the legacy of Henry W. Bloch.
In his memory, JCRB|AJC annually awards one person who leads by example, seeks justice, and embodies the Jewish mission of “repairing the world.” By their distinguished leadership and many contributions, each of our honorees has made our community a better place in which to live.
A humble and soft-spoken man, Henry W. Bloch was devoted to principle, and was a caring visionary of exemplary character and integrity. Henry embodied the very best of the human spirit and JCRB|AJC is proud to have been associated with him for many years.
A trailblazing attorney, mentor, and civic leader, Madeleine exemplifies the principled leadership and enduring commitment to community that defined Henry Bloch’s legacy.
As the first woman elected to lead Shook, Hardy & Bacon, one of the nation’s premier litigation firms, she has spent decades strengthening institutions, advancing justice, and investing in the future of Greater Kansas City.
“JCRB|AJC has worked tirelessly to make Kansas City a community that is fair and just to all its citizens... None of us are free if any of us are threatened.”
