South Florida's Adam J. Tiktin, President and Broker of Tiktin Real Estate Investment Services’ (TREIS), was honored to be among the nation’s top community leaders invited to attend the American Associates, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (AABGU) Zin Fellows Leadership Program, an in-depth immersion into the issues involved in the continuing development of the Negev, Israel’s southern desert region. Each cohort consists of 15 to 20 outstanding community leaders from across the United States who are interested in a new and unique opportunity to be engaged in the future of Israel through their connection to the Negev region.

The week-long seminar in Israel featured faculty members from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), as well as guest speakers from a range of disciplines. By exploring the Negev’s history, topography, geography, demography and sustainability, attendees came to understand and appreciate the unique role the Negev plays in the unfolding development of the State of Israel. Through study and group engagement, the program imparted insights into the challenges that lie ahead for the Negev and the knowledge for how to play a part in surmounting them.

The result of the seminar was the formation of a connected group of discerning leaders who returned to their communities equipped with the tools and excitement to share about Israel and the Negev and inspire continued engagement with Ben-Gurion University. The event also provided an exceptional opportunity for Tiktin to network with leaders across 12 industries and form fruitful relationships.
