Starting with the first Board of Directors meeting that took place under our leadership this past August, the AICC has been engaged in the process of reexamining its mission and the strategies and tactics designed to support that mission. That process resulted in the creation of a Strategic Planning Committee chaired by former AICC chairman, Andre Schnabl. Over the course of the past month, members of the committee have been reaching out to various AICC stakeholders, requesting their feedback on a number of strategies and initiatives that have been identified to move the organization forward. These stakeholders include: economic development agencies with which the AICC partners, the Israeli Foreign Ministry, leaders of Jewish and pro-Israel community organizations, members of the AICC's Israel Advisory Board, philanthropic supporters of the organization and most importantly, our membership and Board of Directors.

To me, American-Israel Chamber of Commerce (AICC) means quality, talent, connections, growth and partners here and in Israel. AICC is a gem with intrinsic value and the opportunity to shine.

As a member of the AICC for over fifteen years, I am proud to share how my participation has weathered the test of time and continues to provide value. Initially I was one of a number of representatives from a large Fortune technology company which engaged in business with Israeli partner companies. In the large corporate environment, I enjoyed working with talent while providing solutions to my clients. In 2002, when I launched Key Bridges, a consulting practice that serves as partners in revenue growth, attracting funds and operational excellence for small/medium businesses, I discovered the AICC was my partner as well! As a new entrepreneur, I met extremely talented people at AICC who represent a range of disciplines and skills. Through these relationships, I continue to partner and access talent and resources needed to serve my clients.

As the expression goes, "I get more out the relationship than I give". Over the years, I learned from others by serving on the Eagle Star steering committee, High Tech Connector (formerly Telecommunications Committee), Marketing Committee and the Board. I am honored to have had a voice in marketing strategy and planning. As chairperson of an upcoming High Tech Connector I3 (Israel, Innovation and Impact) event in partnership with Google planned for later in 2014, I am thrilled to start the conversation of how the "Start Up Nation" is vibrant and significant to our professional life. AICC is the gateway to that conversation and the facilitator of growth - here and in Israel. We need each other.
