Welcome to the IAAB blog…or, be ghole Irooni-ha, befarmaeed, khosh amadid…IAAB has officially entered the blogging world.

One of our underlying goals in recreating our website was to create a more interactive platform for us to communicate with our community. IAAB’s mission centers largely around connecting Iranians, and that includes connecting ourselves to you!

What we hope to do with this blog is provide you – our friends, supporters, and community – with a little more insight into who we are as a staff, and what our organization does on a more personal level. We invite you to check back to this blog periodically, as we hope to have blogs posted by various members of our organization fairly frequently.  More than that, however, we hope that you will also take this opportunity to learn more about us and to provide us with your opinions and express your thoughts. A community is only as strong as its members, and what we hope to accomplish as an organization is not possible without you. So please, share your thoughts – we’d love to hear from you.

IAAB has several great programs coming up, including the Fourth International Conference on the Iranian Diaspora and Camp Ayandeh 2009. We’ll post updates here about our projects, organizational progress and personal experiences as IAAB staffers. We hope to see you here again soon!

Warmest wishes,
Sherry
