It was reportedly founded in Los Angeles in 2007 by a group of Israeli-American businessmen. It was initially called the Israeli Leadership Club and then the Israeli Leadership Council.
In 2014 'as part of a drive to expand from its Los Angeles base to US cities with major concentrations of Israeli expatriates', an office was established in Las Vegas, following the opening of others in Boston and Miami.Tom Tugend, Israeli American Council expands to Vegas Jerusalem Post, 4 April 2014, accessed 12 April 2014 
Miriam Adelson, wife of Sheldon Adelson is chair of the Las Vegas branch. She said at the launch: 'The Israeli- American Council is changing the landscape of the Jewish community in America… through the full spectrum of educational, cultural, traditional and social programming. We are always thinking of strengthening the Jewish and Israeli identity of future generations and their endless support for the State of Israel'
==Activities==
Tom Tugend in the Jerusalem Post reports that IAC’s three-fold mission is: 'to support Israel, strengthen Jewish identity among young Israeli-Americans, and enhance communication between the Israeli-American and older Jewish-American communities.'
'Among its major programs are the Israel Independence Festival; Sifriyat Pijama B’America, which distributes Hebrew children’s books throughout the United States; Mishelanu, to set up young leadership groups on college campuses; and Tzav 8, which organizes activists to participate in demonstrations and other pro-Israel activities.'Tom Tugend, Israeli American Council expands to Vegas Jerusalem Post, 4 April 2014, accessed 12 April 2014

Israeli National Institutions

The National Institutions are quasi-governmental or para-statal institutions in Israel that have significant powers but which are also constituted in part by zionist organisations outside Israel. Each of the organisations pre-dated the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 and they formed the core of the transnational zionist movement the main aim of which was to create a Jewish state in what was then British Mandate Palestine. After the creation of Israel in 1948 the Institutions remained active being assigned legal powers by the Israeli government as well as retaining branches and affiliates in many countries around the world.
They include the following organisations, all of which are based in the same building complex in Jerusalem:
*World Zionist Organization (Created 1897. Added 'World' to its title in 1960)
*Jewish National Fund (Founded at the Fifth Zionist Congress in Basel in 1901)
*Keren Hayesod - United Israel Appeal (Created at the World Zionist Conference in London on July 7–24, 1920)
*Jewish Agency for Israel (Created at the 16th Zionist Congress, held in Zurich, Switzerland in 1929)
==Relations between the national institutions==
===Governing the Jewish Agency===
The World Zionist Organization is allocated 50% of the votes on the governing bodies of the Jewish Agency. Keren Hayesod is allocated 20%. The US based JFNA/UIA has the remaining 30% of the votes - It is the US equivalent of Keren Hayesod which does not organise separately in the US.Jewish Agency Board of Governors, accessed 23 May 2008

===Governing the Jewish National Fund===
In 1961, the KKL-JNF and the Israeli government signed a covenant which provided in part that the JNF 'shall continue to operate, as an independent agency of the World Zionist Organization... and the Government shall extend assistance to Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael in informational and propaganda activities in Israel and abroad.KKL-JNF - Israeli Government Covenant, KKL-JNF, accessed 9 August 2012.
