The Islamic Council now has a membership of 17 centers. Attendance at the annual fall conference, hosted by a different center each year, varies between 700 and 1000 people.Description
Active in interfaith dialogue throughout the Northeast, the Islamic Council is broadening its scope and programs for the betterment of the Muslim community in the context of American society. Projects and new resources are currently being developed to improve Islamic education in America. One such project is the development of Islamic education materials for middle school history and social studies teachers. The Council, consisting of representatives from each Muslim center and society in New England, meets four times each year. Members of the Board of Directors and council officers are elected annually. The Council publishes a newsletter, The Islamic Forum.
