Get to know the people who work around the clock for the movement. We have prepared these brief introductions to the members of HDNA's Mazkirut Artzit, also known as 'The Central Office.'

Gil Browdy – Mazkir T’nua (Movement General Secretary)
Gil is the elected representative of the movement. He sits in his office and communicates with people all over the world. He proudly represents the movement and its interets both here at home and abroad. He sees the movement as part of his blood, as if it was in his veins, in his DNA...HDNA.
Gil has been at Moshava, Miriam, MBI and Na'aleh in various capacities. He was a (surviving) member of Workshop 50 on Kibbutz Galed. His e-mail is: mazkir@habonimdror.org

Jamie Beran – Merakezet Ma’apilim (National Student Coordinator)
If you are a ma’apil/a in the movement, Jamie is here to be a resource for you! The newest job on the Mazkirut has evolved to meet the demand for more structured ma’apilim activity. Jamie juggles organizing Habo U, HDNA’s study abroad program at the University of Haifa; acting as the link between the Kenim and the Central office; developing the Spiralized Tochnit Chinuch; and overseeing ma’apilim activity. Jamie is from Galil where she was Rosh in 2005 and 2006. Last year she was Rosh Eizor DC where she lived in a Bayit. She was a (surviving) member of Workshop 50 on Kibbutz Galed. Her email is: maapilim@habonimdror.org

Kenan Jaffe - Gizbar (Financial Manager)
Kenan is the money-man. He is responsible for all of the financial issues in the movement - paying bills, collecting payments, managing budgets, etc. Any invoice you've received this year is his handiwork.
Kenan is from Moshava where he worked as Rosh Machaneh in 2006. He was a member of Workshop 51 on Kibbutz Kfar Hanassi and in Carmiel. His e-mail is: money@habonimdror.org

Michael Kanter – Merakez Tochniot (Israel Programs Director)
Call him K-Lo...don't ask. His e-mail is: programs@habonimdror.org.

Hezi Nir – Shaliach Merkazi (Israeli Emissary)
Hezi is our link to Israel.  Hi is accompanied on his schlichut with his wife Mimi. The Nir family is from Kibbutz Givat Brenner. Hezi is responsible for managing HDNA’s mishlachat (delegation) of Shlichim spread across North America. He also attends many meetings at the Jewish Agency. Hezi is a very dramatic person, with an illustrious background in the arts in Israel, and if you talk to him on the phone, he may speak in a deep booming actor's voice with a commanding cadence while using epic language to get across his points. Watch out for that. He can be reached at: shaliach@habonimdror.org
