Washington, DC | March 19, 2009 | www.adc.org | The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination (ADC) offers its most heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to Ms. Laila Al-Qatami, ADC Communications Director, for her years of exceptional service to ADC and to the Arab-American community. Ms. Al-Qatami will be leaving ADC as of March 20, and will be moving on to work in public relations in the Arab world. ADC congratulates Laila on her new position, wishes her the very best, and knows she will continue to be successful in the future.
ADC President Mary Rose Oakar said, “Without question, Laila is one of the most talented persons I’ve ever met. In the years I’ve worked with her, she has proven to be remarkably versatile and unusually skillful. She has played a vital role in the work of ADC since she joined the staff in October 2000 and ADC will always be thankful for her hard work. I, personally, will miss her wise counsel, calm demeanor, and sense of humor. Thank you Laila for your outstanding commitment and dedication to ADC and the community.”
ADC National Executive Director Kareem Shora said, “For over eight years ADC has had the fortune of Laila’s professionalism and dedication. Indeed, it has been an honor working with such a knowledgeable professional, strong advocate, and dear friend. With her departure ADC is losing an experienced and true leader, but I know we will continue to rely on her advice and continued friendship.”
Laila Al-Qatami said, “It has been an honor and pleasure to work for ADC and on behalf of the community. Although I will be leaving ADC, I will continue to be involved in the organization and in civil rights, cultural affairs, and media issues.”
