Director: Anat Kadan
Missions Coordinators: Deborah Russell, Maya Asher 

The missions and Speakers Department both coordinates Canadian missions in Israel and sends speakers to Jewish communities throughout Canada to promote hasbara (informational) campaigns.

Missions are a chance to show participants the various programs and projects which the various Canadian Federations generously support. It is also an opportunity for participants to be updated as to the ongoing, current needs in their regions of interest.

Focused on developing relationships with partnership communities, UIAC missions help create warm, people-to-people connections between Israelis and Canadians. Arranging missions to Israel and providing speakers in Canada are both ways in which UIAC continually strives to foster personal contact between the two countries.
