I am going to be in Israel from March 16 - 20 and available for meetings with companies who would be interested in learning more about our services in PR and Social Media.
Also, if you are interested in learning more about the Texas Israel Chamber of Commerce and the opportunities to grow your business in Texas, I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you.
I am also working on the development of a seminar to qualified attendees which I will be elaborating more on once the venue is set

Since I mostly work with Israeli technology companies and since I am based in Texas, this is a wonderful organization whose time has come.
Here is our November newsletter which you may download here:

Note the addition of the Table of Contents to help you quickly access the information that you feel is of most interest.
In addition, the newsletter now also offers Business Opportunities from both Israel and Texas.
I can't take credit for this one.....but it's important to point out the role of local media coverage to our Israeli clients -- when they get business coverage in Israel.
Case in point is the story in Ha'aretz, the English edition of one of the leading business publications in Israel.
I find that like Ha'aretz, the Jerusalem Post and Globes, have very good local business coverage, and a good place to see first round stories of emerging companies like N-trig.
My role at The Texas Israel Chamber of Commerce is now evolving. I am going to be part of the Professional Services Committee, which focuses on exactly what it is: professional service providers such as PR people like myself, lawyers, accountants, advertising, HR, and other types of services that will be needed by Israeli companies that will hopefully be locating in Texas.
I suppose our greatest challenge will be to inform Israel's technology industry that Texas is a great place to be a landing pad to open or expand your operations.
