Monheit takes charge at JNF Victoria

JNF Victoria has appointed Dan Monheit as its new president, the organisation told The AJN.

Bringing to the role 20 years of experience in marketing and advertising as well as firsthand knowledge of the organisation after spending the last eight years on the JNF Victoria board, Monheit is excited for what this next stage will bring.

A “repeat offender”, involvement in Melbourne Jewish community life was always a priority for Monheit. Taking part in youth movements, AUJS Israel programs and Maccabi basketball, Monheit has been continuously inspired by his parents’ lifelong involvement in the Jewish community.

With JNF in particular, Monheit’s journey began as a child.

“Some of my earliest childhood memories are as an assistant blue box collector with my dad when I would have been, who knows, seven or eight years old out around the outer southeastern suburbs of Melbourne,” he said.
