AMEAON Retreat and Convening

 

Saturday, July 15th, MPAC was proud to join the Muslim Civic Coalition, Emgage, and America Indivisible in hosting the first  American Muslim Elected Appointed Officials Network (AMEAON) Retreat and Convening  in Chicago.

Nearly 100 elected and appointed American Muslim officials joined us from across the country. This groundbreaking event provided a platform for crucial discussions on topics from foreign policy to mental health awareness. By facilitating these conversations, AMEAON remains steadfast in its mission of fostering civic engagement and promoting equitable representation at all levels of government, while also inspiring the next generation of American Muslim leaders.

AMEAON  is a first of its kind network that promotes the interactive exchange of best practices and strategies for effective civic engagement. It supports American Muslim officials in local, state, and federal government, and works toward equitable representation in American civic and political life.

Conceived by MPAC and co-founded along with  Illinois Muslim Civic Coalition  and America Indivisible, AMEAON has grown its membership to over 100 elected and appointed officials who convene quarterly.
