Twenty Five Years – Together

In 2010, the Arab American Institute marks its 25th Anniversary.
Twenty five years of working with and for the Arab American community.
Twenty five years collaborations with our community’s best and brightest leaders.
Twenty five years of speaking up and speaking out; of moving up and moving forward.

Throughout the year, AAI will be celebrating where we’ve been and where we’re going. Together.

Click on the links below, and be sure to visit this page often to see the newest ways and the next places we’ll be celebrating this Silver Anniversary.

25 Years, 25 Items
AAI’s online 25th Anniversary Auction is now live! (Click here to view the auction gallery.) From art to travel, Palestinian handicrafts to lunch with Jim Zogby – we’ve got an amazing, diverse array of offerings – and something for every budget.
