A Letter from our President Merissa Khurma

Dear Members and Friends of JAADC,

It is our pleasure to share our thoughts and news with you as the newly-elected executive committee starts its work in service of our Jordanian community in DC, VA and MD.

I’d first like to thank you for your vote of confidence and trust. I am honored and humbled to be the first woman President of JAADC. Most importantly, I am thrilled to be working with a stellar team in the executive committee and to serve you all; to strengthen our community, promote Jordan’s cultural heritage and strengthen Jordan-US relations.

Before we kick off our work as an executive committee, I’d like to ask you all to join me in extending our gratitude and appreciation to our outgoing President Rami Rihani and to our outgoing Membership Director Mohammad Shatnawi. Both Rami and Mohammad have been dedicated and committed leaders of JAADC from the very beginning of our organization’s journey. We will miss working with them but are also confident that we can always count on their support.

Lastly, join me in welcoming the new executive committee. Here are a few words from each one to our JAADC community.  Looking forward to an active and fruitful two-year term.

Ramadan Mubarak!

Sincerely,

Merissa Khurma
