About the
Arab-U.S. Policymakers Conference

NCUSAR's Annual Arab-U.S. Policymakers Conference


Since 1992, the National Council's Annual Arab-U.S. Policymakers Conference has gathered nationally and internationally renowned specialists for a one-of-a-kind shared experience. The specialists are tasked with prioritizing, discussing, debating, and analyzing issues of overarching importance to Americans, Arabs, and others. Absent such an effort, their observations or suggestions will have little chance of being effectively addressed, let alone being met.

Over two days, Arab and American leaders from government, the military, business, and academe share privileged information, insight, and recommendations. Their input and comments are vitally important to the definition of issues, the ordering of priorities, and directions for policy formulation and implementation.

The Arab-U.S. Policymakers Conference's mission is educational. It is the largest gathering in America dedicated to understanding and offering proposals for improving the U.S.-Arab relationship.

The failure of such leaders to rise to the occasion does not come cost-free. Ask that of the millions in the Arab region and the United States whose lives remain mired in poverty, with a lack of opportunity and the denial of access to basic human services. Worse, many confront the increasing imposition of obstacles to inclusiveness and active participation in their country's national development processes. Add further the natural negative reaction of any government and people to the intrusion of foreign influence, including that of their self-proclaimed allies, in their domestic affairs. All of this is hardly conducive to the creation and sustainability of security, stability, and peace. Without these features, any government's and people's prospects for peace, let alone prosperity, will be short-lived and defeated.

We must do better. We can do better.

The Annual Arab-U.S. Policymakers Conference welcomes your registration and participation.
