How NAF-IOLR Is Led

The North American Friends of Israel Oceanographic & Limnological Research (NAF-IOLR) relies on two committed groups: a Governing Board that charts its course and an Advisory Board that lends wide-ranging guidance from supporters throughout the United States and Canada. Working together, they help move aquatic science forward at IOLR, Israel's national institute for oceanographic and limnological research.
