St. Paul Academy - Summit issued the following announcement on Feb. 17. 

St. Paul Academy and Summit School is proud to announce that Molly Greenman, M.S.W. '71 will be the 2023 Distinguished Alumni/ae Award recipient!

Molly Greenman is a career social worker, a holistic leader, and a creator of change. She has dedicated her professional life to changing systems and policies which keep people from being successful.

Greenman graduated from St. Paul Academy and Summit School in 1971, a member of the second graduating class following the 1969 merger, and graduated San Francisco State University with a B.A. in Psychology in 1976. Her career began in San Francisco at a residential program for children with autism and at a center for victims of sexual assault and incest. After earning her Masters in Social Work from the University of Minnesota in 1981, Greenman became Executive Director of Alexandra House, a Twin Cities based organization dedicated to ending domestic violence. She joined Family & Children’s Service, now The Family Partnership, in 1986, and became its CEO in 2004. In 2011, The Family Partnership merged with Minneapolis-based nonprofit Reuben Lindh Family Services, which expanded the organization's reach to early childhood and parenting development. The program now includes two multicultural preschools: one in North Minneapolis serving the African-American community; and the Four Directions early learning center serving the American Indian community.

A firm believer in partnerships, Greenman has served on boards of the Metropolitan Alliance of Connected Communities (MACC), Minnesota Council of Nonprofits, and the Social Current (formerly known as the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities). In 2007, she co-founded the MACC CommonWealth, and has recently joined the board of directors of Phyllis Wheatley Community Center. 

We will be hosting a reception and program in Molly's honor on Tuesday, April 25. Read more about Molly's impressive career and register for the April 25 event at https://www.spa.edu/alumni/events/daa
