Gloria Z. Greenfield
President and Producer
Greenfield brings over 30 years of strategic planning, marketing, program management and publishing experience in the corporate world to her current work dedicated to Jewish education, Jewish identity, and Israel engagement. In addition to serving as president of Doc Emet Productions, she serves as Field Advocacy and Advancement Strategy Manager for the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education. During her tenure as executive director of The David Project, she broadened the organization’s mission to focus on Jewish leadership development, launched groundbreaking Israel advocacy programs for American students in Israel and enhanced the professionalism of all aspects of the organizations’ operations. As Director of the Adult Learning Collaborative for Combined Jewish Philanthropies and Hebrew College, Greenfield launched dynamic initiatives and a wide range of formats and programs to reach diverse segments of the Jewish community, including the nationally recognized IKKARIM initiative. Under Greenfield’s direction, the Adult Learning Collaborative engaged more than 4,000 participants in its programs annually. In May 2005, the Bureau of Jewish Education of Greater Boston awarded Greenfield their Keter Torah Award for her contribution to Jewish education.
Prior to working within the Jewish community, Greenfield served as Strategic Planner and Marketing Manger for Digital Equipment Corporation’s U.S. Hardware Product Services. In 1976 she founded Persephone Press, a feminist book publishing enterprise. Often cited in the leading trade publications as a contemporary Horatio Alger story, Persephone was the subject of feature articles in The New York Times Review of Books, The West Cost Review of Books and Publishers Weekly. In 1979 Ms. Magazine cited Greenfield as a “woman to watch in the 80’s.”
A 1974 graduate of the State University of New York at Oswego, Greenfield received a BA in Communications. In 1981 she was the recipient of the Distinguished Alumnus Award from SUNY/Oswego. Her graduate work at Goddard-Cambridge Graduate Program in Social Change focused on History of Women in the U.S., and in 1995 she received a Masters of Jewish Studies from Hebrew College, where she was awarded the Sara Feinsilver Prize as the outstanding female graduating student.
