National Community Directors’ Forum

The National Community Directors' Forum (NCDF) serves as the central coordinating platform for the World Jewish Congress’s global action and advocacy. By convening senior professionals from WJC-affiliated Jewish communities, the NCDF enables the rapid exchange of best practices, situational awareness, and operational insights—particularly in times of crisis and rising antisemitism. It strengthens alignment between local community leadership and WJC’s global efforts to protect and support Jewish communities worldwide.

The NCDF meets at least once annually in person, bringing together leaders from dozens of countries to build relationships, align priorities, and address shared challenges. These gatherings are complemented by regular virtual convenings, ensuring continuity, sustained coordination, and ongoing collaboration throughout the year.
