Arab-Americans in Foreign Affairs Agencies (AAIFAA) is an officially recognized employee affinity group (EAG) concerned with the promotion, protection, and utilization of the cultural, linguistic, personal, and professional assets Arab-American foreign affairs professionals commonly share. We welcome membership from across all Federal Agencies and no, you don't have to be of Arab heritage to join. Co-registered at the Department of State and USAID, AAIFAA, as with other ethnic - and minority-based employee associations, serves as a resource of relevant ideas and experiences that can be shared among Arab-American communities. Key activities and initiatives to promote diversity in the workplace include: AAIFAA participation in employee recruitment drives; voluntary brown-bag discussions with new foreign and civil service employees; the networking opportunities to share ideas and experiences with AAIFAA members and non-members related to AAIFAA’s mission statement; mentoring for Arab-American and other foreign affairs professionals; and representation at relevant meetings and events that concern the Association.

Spent the morning at National Security Council, The White House with very accomplished Arab American professionals in government. We heard from National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and got the opportunity to ask pointed questions about the way forward.

Arab Americans have made important contributions to the Department and diplomacy. Meet a few of them. #NationalArabAmericanHeritageMonth
For Arab-Americans in Foreign Affairs Agencies (AAIFAA)—an interagency employee organization—this April’s Arab American Heritage Month marks 10 years of the organization and is especially significant due to the crisis in Gaza. https://lnkd.in/emgbHYNn
