We are pleased to invite you to our 6th annual Robert Coles "Call of
Service" Lecture and Award in honor of Ernesto Cortés Jr., Co-Director of
the Industrial Areas Foundation, for his lifelong dedication to the
pursuit of social justice and to building power in marginalized communities
throughout the world.
Cortés holds a deep respect for the dignity of the people with whom he
works, and he adheres to what the IAF calls the “iron rule” of community
organizing: Never do for others what they can do for themselves. Rather
than seek to impose an outsider’s view of what a community needs, he helps
people organize and develop the tools they need to exercise power on their
own behalf. Among his many life successes, Cortés has built power with
ordinary people to create employment training and development
opportunities, secure water and sewer infrastructures in rural communities,
and pioneer innovative strategies for public school reform.

Mr. Cortés is the national co-director of the Industrial Areas Foundation
(IAF) and executive director of the Interfaith Education Fund. The West /
Southwest Region of IAF, co-founded by Cortés, comprises more than 27
community-based organizations and stretches from New Orleans to Des Moines
to Los Angeles. IAF provides leadership development for poor and moderate
income people so that they can identify and take action on issues of
importance in their own communities.
Cortés has received several fellowships and awards in recognition of his
accomplishments in the field of community organizing, among them the
prestigious MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant.
Ernesto Cortés has successfully translated his passion for justice into
helping the politically disenfranchised discover their political strength.
That passion burns as brightly today as it did when he put together the
COPS organization of San Antonio in 1974.
We hope you will join us for what will prove to be an inspiring event!
