Professional exchanges are an important and effective way to create people-to-people connections between Israelis and Americans. This program creates the opportunity to host a professional delegation from the region for a week during each calendar year. Most of our professional exchange work has been hosting Israelis from the Sovev Kinneret Region to the cluster communities (Milwaukee and St. Paul). Each community decides what type of delegation will help them meet their local goals. Our community is usually interested in inviting a specific delegation defined by profession, such as physicians, chefs, social workers, ecologists or others.
