As mayor of Israel’s largest regional council, Eran Doron is devoted to strengthening, developing, and promoting the communities and settlements in Ramat HaNegev, including promoting the inclusion of the local Bedouin population into the region’s social fabric, as well as conserving the area’s environmental resources. Doron is also leading a new solar-energy valley in the Negev Desert, which is one of the largest renewable energy projects in the world.   

Daphna Cohen was appointed to her current position after successfully completing the establishment process of Ramat HaNegev's first regional high school, which opened in September 2019. Before moving to the Negev and joining the Ramat HaNegev Council, she decided to focus on the connection between Ramat HaNegev and its friends and partners overseas.
