He runs a business, helps parent four kids, and so he searched carefully for the right place to give his time. "Hebrew Free Loan and I are a good fit for each other," Steve said. "This agency helps people without a lot of red tape. It's direct, it sets out to do things one person or one family or one business at a time, and it's grat- ifying to help." Steve also works with the Marvin I. Danto Small Business Loan Program. "I've been in the shoes of some of our borrowers, on the brink of growing an idea," Steve said. "But there's a misconception that Danto loans are just for start-ups. What you have to be is Jewish, or majority Jewish- owned, with a dream and a good plan. That could mean you have an existing business that could take off if you invest in new technology, or expand in new directions with the help of an interest-free business loan. The common denominator is the owners or partners believe in the idea and do their homework. "I think people will always need someone who believes in them and will invest in their future. I enjoy see- ing people move forward. It's rewarding to be part of that."

Kalt was born in Poland and came to Detroit with her parents as a child. She graduated from Detroit's High School of Commerce in 1927. In 1959, Kalt became a female entre- preneur during an era when only a few women held such roles: She established her own business — a travel agency. Kalt soon became one of the most respected agents in the industry, specializing in cruises before that kind of vacation travel became commonplace. Bee Kalt Travel advertised exten- sively in the Jewish News for decades and was a popular agency within Detroit's Jewish community. Her busi- ness flourished and grew to include her sons. Today, the Kalt family still operates the agency Bee Kalt started more than 50 years ago. A determined and talented woman, Kalt broke the "glass ceiling" long before this metaphor for the obstacles women faced when pursuing advance- ment in their careers became a standard term in the Oxford Dictionary of the English Language. * Want to learn more?
