Alice Ludmer is among 10 local leaders to be honored as the 2025 Women of Achievement (Volunteer Leadership) at the 70th Anniversary Luncheon at the Ritz-Carlton on May 13. A biography on the Women of Achievement website noted that over the past 40 years she has given “thousands of volunteer hours in a marketing, public relations and organizational capacity,” and has “personally helped to raise significant funds and awareness for numerous local organizations involved with such critical issues as child abuse, independent living for the aged and challenged youth, and the importance of the arts.”
For the past two decades, Ludmer has been a volunteer leader with the Jewish Community Center’s Adult Day and Inclusion Program. Under her leadership, Adult Day at the J (ADJ), which provides services and support for senior and young adults, has earned the Missouri Adult Day Service Association Award for Excellence in Innovation. The Inclusion Program serves young adults with developmental disabilities who require ongoing support to develop skills for independence and pre-employment. In 2019, Ludmer was selected as one of the Jewish Light’s Unsung Heroes.
