Paula Pretlow has lived a life of deep roots and meaningful new beginnings. From her Muskogee Creek heritage in Oklahoma to a high-powered finance career in Northern California, Paula’s path has been anything but traditional. It was at age 50 that she made the intentional choice to convert to Judaism, a decision that transformed her sense of identity and belonging. Today, Paula is a powerhouse of global Jewish leadership. Whether she is serving on the boards of the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation and the Anti-Defamation League or collaborating with the global leaders of the Voice of the People council, Paula brings a unique perspective on the most urgent matters facing our community. Her journey of courage, leadership, and renewal is an inspiration that will resonate with those who hear her story.
