Professional Activism

If you have the opportunity to nominate or select speakers at a high profile conference, look first within your community. Help spotlight someone you know, advance their career/brand, and positively impact the image of the Pakistani American Community.

In a Nutshell

Medium to large corporations have thousands of conferences every year, many of which are high profile public events. If you are in a position to select or nominate speakers for keynotes and panels at such an event, think first of Pakistani Americans that would be good fits. Ask others in our circle for good candidates in the Pakistani and Muslim American community. This way we help spotlight and support the person you nominate and showcase the talent and achievements of the Community.

Success Stories

KI (from CA) When I had the opportunity to determine who would be on stage with our CEO at an global company conference, I looked for the best candidate within my community for star speakers first. I found a superb candidate and nominated her. I helped shine the spotlight on a fellow Pakistani-American and on Pakistani American talent in general.

The Ask

If you are able to recommend or select speakers at a conference, think first of rock stars in your community. Ask around your network if you do not directly know of a suitable candidate.
