Past events

To close out national Arab American Heritage Month and Eid al-Fitr the Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East hosted an amazing Arab American festival for our colleagues. To celebrate the immeasurable contributions of Arab Americans and Arabic-speaking Americans and pay tribute to their diverse backgrounds and faiths, vibrant traditions, bold innovation, and hard work, we were treated to traditional foods, fun games, a calligrapher, art and much more.

The Atlantic Council hosted a special event celebrating women in leadership positions in honor of Women’s History Month. The national theme for the month was “celebrating women who tell our stories” and the participants shred their insights and experience in leadership.
