What to Expect

J Street is proud to welcome you to commemorate a landmark moment: the official renaming of the Gallanter–Winograd Policy Center! This gathering will mark where vision meets momentum and community fuels action.

Together, we will recognize the extraordinary leadership and enduring commitment of Linda and Sandy Gallanter and Carol and Terry Winograd. Their partnership and generosity have not only strengthened J Street’s policy work, but helped shape a bold, values-driven agenda at this moment of challenge and consequence.

Expect to enjoy an energizing program featuring distinguished policy leaders, timely and thought-provoking conversation, as well as to join a room filled with changemakers committed to advancing peace, security and democracy for Israelis, Palestinians and the entire region. This will be more than just a ceremony – it will be a call to action and a celebration of what we can accomplish together.

We can’t wait to mark this powerful milestone with you.
