to generating, promoting and
facilitating business with the
entire State of Israel," said Jacki-
er, referring to the Federation's
Partnership 2000, which concen-
trates its efforts upon the central
Galilee.
The Chamber has been asked
to play a role in Partnership
2000. Unlike those in most
communities, the Michigan
Chamber does not receive Fed-
eration financial support, said
Jackier.
The Chamber also is
strengthening its bonds with
statewide organizations like the
Greater Detroit Chamber of Com-
merce. These revitalized links could be
integral in light of Israeli participation
in the upcoming Society of Automo-
tive Engineers' convention.
The Chamber is planning to estab-
lish its own Website and link it to the
national Chamber. That will give mem-
bers more access to not only doing busi-
ness with Israel, but networking among
themselves, said Jackier, whose own
firm, Farmington Hills-based Avishel
International Inc., promotes
strategic partnerships between
U.S. and Israeli companies.
The local chapter will play an
active role when the large Israeli
delegation arrives for the SAE
convention. An Israeli panel will
be jointly presented by General
Motors Corporation and the
State of Michigan on Feb. 24 at
the Westin Hotel. The
SAE/AEAI U.S/Israel Free Trade
Agreement Area Panel will fea-
ture Avihu Ben Nun, president
of Universal Motors Israel, Ltd.,
and five other Israeli automotive
industry technology experts.
"We are very interested in coordi-
nating specific missions to Israel," said
Jackier, who has been talking to the
American-Arab Chamber of Com-
merce about a joint mission.
The Chamber expects to have
major Michigan participation in the
United States-Israel Technology &
Investment Exhibition and Congress.
That program, which will bring
together Israeli innovators of high-tech
products and technologies and Ameri-
can industry and venture capital
investors, will be held in Washington,
D.C., next May 11-13.
The following month, the Cham-
ber plans to be involved in the mission
to Israel and Jordan of the Michigan
Jobs Commission and Gov. John
Engler. H
