On September 19, Heartland board member, friend, and mentor, Patricia (Pat) Zerega received the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility’s 2024 Legacy Award. For more than 45 years, Pat has dedicated her life and career to serving and speaking out for the “least of these my brothers and sisters.” Her care for the dignity of each person is at the core of her being, her faith, and her mission to advance corporate respect for human rights from the community to corporate boardrooms. Like so many others in the business and human rights community, we owe Pat an unpayable debt of gratitude. Her legacy ripples out into the world through the efforts of everyone she has impacted through her life’s work.
