The Rose Rees Peace Awards commemorates Rose Rees, who died in 1935 while serving as president of NCJW’s Minneapolis Section and founder of the World Affairs Council of Minneapolis. Her passion was international peace and cooperation. NCJW gives an honorary award each year to a graduating senior from metro area participating schools with a demonstrated commitment toward international relations and world peace. An awards ceremony is held in the spring for award recipients and their teachers, principals, superintendents, friends and family.

The next Rose Rees event will be the Rose Rees Peace Awards Luncheon - held in April 29th 2009. Stay tuned for details!
