NAAP's Annual Conference - What's in store?
 
As the conference draws closer, the excitement continues to grow.  And now we are starting to get asked - what does NAAP have in store for this annual conference?

 
Well, to whet your appetite, we wanted to give you a little taste of past New York events.  Watch here
 
Need more reasons to attend?
 
This is not going to be just any conference. The conference is themed around "arabIcity" or the expression of one's Arab heritage through individual effort and collective action to further the Arab-American community within the greater American landscape.
 
The diverse set of panels tackling both professional and personal issues are designed to encourage your feedback and provide a platform for you to exchange ideas with other attendees. We don't want you to sit in a room and listen. We want you to actively participate in discovering and nurturing ideas that empower and improve our community!
 
Now, where else could you get all that plus a myriad of professional and social networking opportunities?
 
Oh and not to mention the Keynote Speaker.  Curious?  Find out who in next week's eMailer....

Questions? Email Sama ElBannan.

P.S. Check out pictures of the 2004 Boston conference here.
You Tube Video of the Week

Saudis in America Saudis in America

Zahra Productions has released its latest film called "Saudis in America".  The film follows Saudi filmmaker Fhami Farahat's life as he attempts to answer the questions that many Americans wondered about Saudis since September 11 2001 such as who are they; what are they doing in the US; do they hate America; do they support Osama Bin Laden; how do they feel about 9/11; and most importantly why do they oppress their women?

Watch the trailer....
