"For more than 40 years, the Middle East Policy Council has been committed to educating the policymakers and the public on issues pertaining to U.S.-Middle East relations. When I came into this role in January of 2021, my goal was simple: honor the Council's past while embracing its future. Accordingly, our team has strategized new, innovative avenues of engagement with the foreign policy leaders of today and tomorrow. Of course, we could not do this without partners like you, and we thank you for your support in fostering our mission and our future." - Bassima Alghussein, Executive Director
