Salam,

This week, our Emgage DMV chapter brought together policy experts, college students, and young professionals for an Emerging Leaders event and advocacy day in D.C.

We facilitated a conversation on ‘Navigating the Policy World as a Young Muslim’, with an all-star panel of Iman Awad, Emgage National Director of Policy and Advocacy, Brenda Abdelall, former Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Partnership and Engagement, Moon Sulfab, senior Senate staffer and technology professional, and Mohsin Syed, former Chief of Staff to the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, moderated by Emgage policy fellow and young superstar, Nabrath Sheriff.

Attendees connected with our panelists, staff, and their peers, and prepared for our Student Advocacy Day at Capitol Hill the following day, where we met with over twenty congressional offices. Our young leaders gained valuable advocacy experience as they attended and even led some meetings.

In addition to personal professional development, this Emerging Leaders module sought to build community among young leaders entering the policy space. As we move forward as a chapter, we remain committed to building, platforming, and uplifting their talent. Stay tuned for our next Emerging Leaders session coming soon!

Sincerely,

Sufyan Billel, Organizing Associate
