***About the DMV Exchange***: The DMV Exchange is a consortium of individuals and organizations that are passionate about nurturing greater collaboration, cooperation, and resource-sharing among all DMV-area Muslim organization and leaders. It seeks to identify overlaps in the work we do, the people we serve, and the missions we represent, and find ways to amplify one another’s work, eliminate redundancies, and share knowledge. It is also a place we come to renew our commitments to working together as Muslims, with intentional humility and consciousness.
The DMV Exchange was formed out of a growing concern we have and an increasing awareness of the fragmentation in the Muslim community, and how this potentially damages our individual work and mission, as well as the constituents we serve.
A volunteer steering committee of interested organizations is formed each year to ensure there is diverse representation, that the agenda for the gathering is set and led by the participants, and that participants help to maintain up-to-date list of resources and events. The steering committee membership is open to any Muslim leader who would like to volunteer and join and feels passionate about the DMV Exchange. There are no more than 2 participants per organization in both the steering committee as well as at the event.
