NFTY-TOR and Greene Family Camp are proud to introduce the NFTY-TOR regional board for 2019-2020.

Considering applying to be on the NFTY-TOR cabinet! Applications are open and can be found here.
Micah Heilbron, President
Micah Heilbron is a rising senior from the wonderful capital of the great state of Texas, Austin. She attends the Liberal Arts and Science Academy and is a member of Congregation Beth Israel, where she finds herself spending lots of time in, from Temple Board meetings, to religious school, to her temple youth group, ATT. Micah also is a proud barista at Starbucks, and yes, she has tried the new drink (whatever that may be), and no she doesn’t like it. In her free time, Micah likes reading and putting glitter on things. She is so honored to have the opportunity to work with this amazing regional board and give back to the youth group and region which has done so much for her. She is a NFTYite now and forever.
Jonathan Kressbach, Programming Vice-President
Hey NFTY-TOR! I’m an incoming senior from San Antonio, Texas, and I can’t be more excited to serve as your next Programming Vice-President! I’m a huge nerd about everything from video games to sports and will stop at nothing to support my team (NFTY included!). I’ve spent every summer for the past 10 years involved with Greene Family Camp, and I can’t wait to be an Avodah this year. I especially love the connections I make with people, and I look forward to creating some of the strongest connections of my life over the next year!
Camille Trawick, Social Action Vice-President
Camille is the new NFTY-TOR Social Action Vice President. She is from Austin and is completely obsessed with her dogs, snow globes and Game of Thrones. Camille is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and holds the unpopular opinion that The Rolling Stones are better than The Beatles. She is on her school’s tennis and congressional debate teams where she is the Treasurer of the Lake Travis Speech and Debate team. She is also involved in many other student organizations like the National Honors Society and the Cavs in Service program. She is super excited about the upcoming year in NFTY (more than usual if possible) to share the message of Jewish Social Action with her peers through innovative social action programming techniques and through more pop up events in all of NFTY-TOR’s subregions. From this position, she feels that she can give back to the organization that has given her so much. Camille is very excited to help lead the diverse and beautiful region that is TOR and to touch the heart of every TORite!
