Pam Krail heading JNF Australia

JNF Australia has announced the appointment of Pam Krail as its new National President, following over a decade of dedicated service to the organisation.

A long-serving board member and former President of JNF NSW (2016–2023), Pam Krail has played a pivotal role in shaping JNF’s direction and impact across the state. Her involvement began in 2010 after joining her first JNF mission to Israel – an experience she describes as “mind-blowing.” Since then, she has returned to Israel annually to oversee the progress of JNF Australia-funded projects and strengthen ties with local partners.

“I am honoured to continue my commitment to JNF, now at a national level,” Krail said. “This is an impactful position that carries both responsibility and meaning. I look forward to working with the national Board, our committees, and the dedicated JNF Australia team to ensure we deliver on our promise – from donation to destination.”

JNF Australia CEO Doron Lazarus welcomed the appointment, highlighting Krail’s long-standing contribution and leadership. “Pam has been an integral part of our national leadership over the past six years,” he said. “She brings with her extensive experience in marketing, management and community engagement—but most importantly, she brings unwavering passion. As we enter our annual campaign period, we are confident Pam will lead with the energy and vision that defines her involvement with JNF.”

Pam Krail recently returned from the JNF Australia Unity Mission, where she joined 20 other participants in visiting key initiatives funded by the organisation. “Being on the ground and seeing the direct impact of our work always leaves me inspired,” she said. “It reaffirms why we do what we do. I return feeling energised to share that passion with the Australian community and lead JNF Australia with pride and purpose.”
