The Texas-Israel Chamber of Commerce has appointed Clare Freeman as president and CEO.
Freeman, who started with the chamber last week, replaces Greg Yavner who left in July.
The 4-year-old Texas-Israel Chamber has 220 members, about 85 percent of them in the Dallas area, Freeman said.
“The purpose of the chamber is to provide business opportunities for Texas companies that want to do business in Israel and for Israeli companies that want to do business in the United States,” Freeman said.
The chamber is based in Richardson and has a staff of four.
She said her goals include growing the chamber’s membership statewide and in Israel, where it already has a few members. She also hopes to bring more Israeli companies to Texas and help provide the services they need to get established.
The chamber plans to send five or six Texas nanotech companies to the NanoIsrael convention in Tel Aviv in March, Freeman said. The chamber will also have a booth at the convention.
Freeman, a Dallas native who went to Hillcrest High School and the University of North Texas, previously worked as a regional representative for the American Electronics Association.
In conjunction with the chamber appointment, Freeman was also named president and CEO of the Israel-Texas Science and Education Foundation, Inc. The foundation is a separate entity from the chamber.
