On November 16 – 18, 2017, ACCESS and its three national institutions – the Arab American National Museum (AANM), the Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP) and the National Network for Arab American Communities (NNAAC) – will convene jointly in a summit to Mobilize, Organize, Vocalize and Empower (MOVE) the national Arab American community. This unique gathering will provide an opportunity for stakeholders and allies to connect and form relationships, dialogue with and learn from one another about the most pressing issues facing the community and develop a shared agenda for social change.
In an unprecedented effort, MOVE will bring together members of this community for three packed days of programming that will include compelling plenary speakers, nontraditional and innovative workshop sessions, presentations, performances from Arab American artists and more. MOVE will reach 450 attendees representing thousands of Arab Americans from their respective institutions across the United States, comprising a diverse audience of philanthropists, artists, activists, youth, and community organizations.
