Greenville Lecture Series: Max Heller: Lessons in Leadership

Featuring Dr. Russell Stall

From a Jewish refugee escaping Nazi occupation of Austria in 1938 to the visionary mayor who transformed downtown Greenville, Max Heller's story is inspiring and remarkable. This lecture explores how a young Austrian immigrant, saved by the kindness of strangers from Greenville, became the architect of Greenville's downtown renaissance. Learn how Heller converted a dying downtown into a thriving urban center through innovative public-private partnerships, overcame religious bigotry in a 1978 Congressional race, and recruited international companies that reshaped South Carolina's economy. A compelling case study in transformational leadership and the American immigrant experience.
