NIAC 2011 Leadership Conference
 |
This was the first time that Iranian Americans from across the country came to our nation’s capital to learn about government, hear from opinion leaders, meet fellow NIAC members, and see first-hand how decisions are made.
The goal of the Conference was to empower and inform the Iranian-American community. Based on the feedback received, we can say with full confidence that this year's Conference was a complete success!
Thanks to those of you who were able to participate. We look forward to seeing you at next year's Conference!
