About the Gala

An evening beyond the mask.

Keynote Speaker

Howard Fox

A lifelong advocate for low-income families

Howard has been an advocate for low-income families for nearly 50 years. In the late 1970s, he began working on programs to mitigate the high cost of utilities — including the Federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). In over 40 states and in Washington, he developed innovative programs, including establishing the reasonable percentage of income families should pay for their energy needs.

Later, his efforts shifted to a wider variety of challenges faced by low-income families. At the dawn of the internet, he worked on using this technology to promote coordination among service providers and the promise of wraparound case management. In recent years, here in Palm Beach County, alongside his wife Audrey Ades, he focuses on food insecurity and affordable housing.

Howard holds a master's degree from the Kennedy School of Public Administration at Harvard University.
