Rotarians Vocational Talk
Presenters:
Leslie C. Levy, J.D., was named the Ardis & Robert James director at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum in 2014. A year-long Rotary scholarship to study in Japan inspired her to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in International Affairs from the University of Nebraska.
After earning her Juris Doctor from the University of Nebraska's College of Law, Leslie worked in both private and public service. As Chief of the Consumer Protection & Antitrust Division for the Nebraska Department of Justice, Leslie gained extensive legal and real-world experience required to manage teams, work under deadline, balance budgets, and find creative solutions to diverse challenges.
What started as a curiosity about one of America's iconic storytellers, manifested itself into the opportunity to lead the internationally acclaimed Willa Cather Foundation and provide the impetus to grow an international organization as well as broaden Leslie's skillset in academia, networking, outreach and fundraising.
Leslie's unique international and work experiences chartered the course towards the International Quilt Museum (IQM). An opportunity not-to-be-missed, Leslie pursued the chance to lead the world's preeminent quilt museum. Quilts have enabled Leslie to experience many diverse cultures as she has traveled the world in service to the IQM meeting its members, scholars, donors and visitors.
