Lee Edelblut is the Program Coordinator for the Hart Leadership Program. Lee holds a Master of Divinity from Duke Divinity School as well as a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations from Wheaton College. Throughout her career, Lee has worked in both the public and private sectors, always with a focus on community building through hospitality and advocacy. She believes the power to tackle our world’s greatest issues starts at the local level, with relationships we forge in our communities that demonstrate an ethic of care and a commitment to human flourishing. As a former chef, Lee enjoys cooking and baking in her spare time, and finds the community connection that comes from a shared meal around the table an important extension of her theological and ethical framework. Lee is a Member in Discernment for ordination in the United Church of Christ and holds a commitment to interfaith partnership in her work and social activism.
