MIBB Welcomes
Its New Officers
And Directors
Hannan Lis was
re-elected for his
(404.1" third term as
president of the
Michigan Israel
Business Bridge
(MIBB) at the
organization's
Hannan Lis
annual meeting
in early September. He is a found-
er of MIBB.
At the annual meeting, Lis
spoke of the significance of travel-
ing last year on a trade mission to
Israel with Gov. Rick Snyder. The
trip resulted in more connections
being made between Michigan
and Israel in the auto industry,
technology and cyber security.
"In the past two years of
our MIBB administration, we
went from dreaming and cre-
ating a vision to reality:' Lis
said. "With the support of the
Michigan Economic Development
Corporation and the Government
of Israel Ministry of Economy,
MIBB has seen growth in unprec-
edented speed. One of the best
outcomes of the trip is the
newly signed Memorandum of
Understanding between Israel
and the state of Michigan. We are
poised to announce the first RFP
for companies looking to work
together:'
This fall, MIBB will lead another
trade mission to Israel. Each par-
ticipant will have pre-arranged
meetings to address business
objectives and industry-specific
targets; plus unique opportuni-
ties to network and socialize with
Israeli innovators and thinkers.
Other officers installed: vice
presidents Steven Cole, Bloomfield
Hills; Michael Dergis, Ann
Arbor; Robyn Lederman, West
Bloomfield; and Hal Ostrow,
Grand Rapids. Treasurer is Joseph
Ben-Gal, Farmington Hills; secre-
tary is Alan Brilliant, Ann Arbor.
Executive board members are Lisa
Rosenbaum and David Weaver,
both of Bloomfield Hills.
New board members: Mark
Bennett, Birmingham; Diane
Smith, Clarkston; and Patrice
Zamor, Ashkelon, Israel.
Re-elected for second and third
terms: Norman Bash, West
Bloomfield; Alan Brilliant;
Joseph Ben-Gal; Beth Gotthelf,
Birmingham; Robyn Lederman;
Lloyd Silberman and David
Weaver, both of Bloomfield Hills.
