ING

Accomplishments

Since 1993, ING’s educational outreach efforts have had a positive impact both locally and nationally. In the San Francisco Bay Area, home to one of the largest Muslim communities in the nation, ING has been serving the community by delivering 500-700 educational presentations and panels annually to diverse venues and institutions. Nationally, the Islamic Speakers Bureau program has been successfully duplicated by affiliates across the country.

ING Building Interfaith Understanding and Mutual Respect

ING has long understood that seeking a better climate for Muslims requires improving interfaith relations generally. That is the reason ING started the Interfaith Speakers Bureau (IFSB) in 2007.

IFSB's role within ING is growing. There has been a modest but real growth in the percent- age of IFSB presentations as a portion of the total work of ING over the past two years. At least as important as the growth of IFSB within ING, however, is the diversity of venues where IFSB delivers presentations.
