https://www.ilr.cornell.edu/worker-institute/events/life-and-legacy-lois-gray-honoring-labor-innovationJoin us to honor Lois Gray, a pioneer in labor education and co-founder of The Worker Institute at Cornell ILR. Lois' vision for raising the collective voice of working people and fostering women leaders continues through the Lois Gray Labor Innovation Initiative, launched with her generous million-dollar gift. The Initiative's goal is to bring together labor leaders, union members, scholars, and other allies to advance innovative ideas for protecting and expanding workers' rights.
The Worker Institute is deeply honored and appreciative of Lois' gift and is incredibly thankful for the opportunity she has given us to continue her legacy. We host sponsored public events, training workshops, research and outreach in consultation with Lois' family, the Worker Institute Advisory Council, and other key stakeholders and partners.
This event will celebrate Lois' life, foster a dynamic dialogue around innovation in the labor movement, recognize outstanding contributions, and raise funds to grow her endowment. Let's come together to continue her legacy and advance workers' rights.
