Our Mission
Our mission is to support and guide Arab American Women professionals in the workforce, regardless of field or level, to achieve success through workshops, actionable resources, mentorship, and professional and leadership development opportunities.
Our committee works to cater to the professional and entrepreneurial community of Arab American Women in the Southeast Michigan community. We do this by putting together workshops on leadership development, economic development, and providing resources.
