Join MAX Texas for our last MAX Cafe of 2024 on November 6th! It will be a great night with diverse established speakers discussing the topic: “Building Bridges & Muslims In The Workplace”.
As we approach the end of the year, and especially with the upcoming election and the situation in the Middle East, it’s important for Muslim Professionals to be focused on building bridges and reflecting on our role in the workplace. Our speaker panel will be talking about their experience and offering their expert advice on how they navigate the work environment during these times.
This event will help you better navigate the complexities of the times we are in and how we can build bridges in support of our community. There will be plenty of time for networking along with light dinner and snacks/refreshments!
