He regularly meets with travelers whose trips are organized by J Street, Interfaith Peace-Builders, the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) and many others.
Hearing from an American-Palestinian business leader of Bahour's stature is a rare opportunity. He is one of the few business leaders from Palestine to visit Chicago. As a business developer, investor and start-up consultant in Palestine, Bahour can provide first-hand experience about operating a business out of the West Bank. And because he was born, raised and educated in America, he brings a unique perspective to that experience.
