About this Event
Please join us this December for CAIR-MA’s annual banquet at the University of Massachusetts Boston. This year we are extremely blessed to be joined by Abdullah Jaber as our keynote speaker, and Dr. Altaf Husain for our motivational address.
Imam Abdulla Jaber has spent his life at the intersection of the sacred and the struggle. A traditionally trained scholar and a civil rights leader, he has stood in the pulpit and in the fight, calling this community to remember who it is and to refuse anything less than the dignity it was promised. He has served as Chief Executive Officer of CAIR-Florida and Executive Director of CAIR-Georgia, leading both chapters through seasons of crisis and renewal. Today he works with Muslim institutions across the country, helping them align their strategy and strengthen their foundations so they can meet the needs of this community today and prepare for what tomorrow will ask of them. He serves as Resident Scholar at Roswell Community Masjid in Georgia.
Dr. Altaf Husain is an associate professor and associate dean for Academic and Student Advancement at Howard University’s School of Social Work. He is also the founding vice president of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research. His work focuses on community leadership, social justice, and supporting immigrant and refugee families. He previously served two terms as national president of the Muslim Students Association of the United States and Canada. He also serves on the advisory board of the Peaceful Families Project, which works to prevent domestic violence.
