Muslim Americans in Public Service thanks its members and partners for attending its second Annual DC Winter Event last week. This exclusive event brings together Muslim American public servants and allies as we continue to build community and resilience in the face of professional and personal challenges.

MAPS thanks U.S. Small Business Administration Deputy Administrator Dilawar Syed and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Under Secretary for Health Shereef Elnahal for addressing our members and serving as key resources for our community. We also thank our cosponsors, the El-Hibri Foundation and Amana Mutual Funds Trust, and our hosts, the Qatar America Institute for Culture.As creating safe spaces and environments for our members and broader community is an important way we execute our mission, we were thrilled to see so many meet and build common bonds with their counterparts across government, be they Congressional staffers, Federal employees, political appointees, or elected officials, now more than ever.
