Buffalo Grove, Ill. (July 5, 2006) - Gregg M. Steinberg, President of IPA, based in Buffalo Grove, Ill., was named one of the 10 people who make Chicago a better community in which to live and awarded the 2006 Jewish Chicagoan of the year by The Chicago Jewish News.

Steinberg joined IPA in 1992 and became its Chief Financial Officer in 1995. He has been President since 1997. Civically, he has been a board member of the Jewish Community Centers of Chicago and a past board member and Chairman for various committees of the Jewish Council for Youth Services. Currently, he is a member of Aspen Institute’s Middle East Strategy Group, a member of the Midwest board of Operation Hope, Midwest chair for the American Committee for the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science (ACWIS) and a member of ACWIS’ national executive committee, a member of Touchstones Discussions Board and is involved in a leadership role with the Suburban Human Relations Commission.

"In order for charitable organizations to do the wonderful work they do, it takes people supporting them both through money and through time," said Steinberg. "And these examples have to come from the prior generation for it to be perpetuated. That leadership has to come by way of example. Oce can’t expect everybody else to do it if one doesn’t do it oneself."
