Catch Up with MPAC-WNY Latest Activities
January 18, 2012
Last year was busy for MPAC-Western New York, as the Buffalo-based chapter organized forums, dialogues and dinners and released a book, "Remembering 9/11," as a commemoration of the 10th anniversary of that tragic day.
Dr. Khalid Qazi, president of MPAC-WNY, said this year will not be any slower. The first event of this year is MPAC-WNY's annual meeting and symposium on Saturday, Jan. 21 at 5:30 p.m. at the Islamic Society of Niagara Frontier at the Amherst Center in New York. Both events are free and open to the public.
Continuing the conversation from MPAC's 11th Annual Convention, "Spring Forward: America's Role in A Changing World," the symposium will feature three prominent speakers, including Haris Tarin, the Director of the MPAC's Washington, DC office, who will speak about the changing climate of the Middle East and North Africa and the implications it will have on the U.S.
During the annual meeting, which is also open to the public, the annual report and financial reports will be presented and board elections will be held. A reception with hors d'eovres and refreshments will be available.
MPAC-WNY is a bustling chapter that serves as the interface for the community with a large number of agencies, including those in the field of business, education, government, interfaith and media. MPAC-WNY takes on this role with care, compassion and commitment and the expertise to deal with the issues of homeland security, civil rights and civic engagement.
"The work that we do is a direct reflection of your board and volunteers, who dedicate their time and resources into making MPAC-WNY an effective organization," Dr. Qazi said. "Our commitment as a full partner in the growth and prosperity of our community and our region is unwavering. Your continued active participation in developing MPAC-WNY programs is greatly appreciated so that such programs reflect your true desires and aspirations."
