Peace Symposium: "Women as Architects of Peaceful Nations"

'Women Only' Peace Symposium to Honor Frisco's Naiya Vaden & RISD's Dr. Jeannie Stone

The Women’s Auxiliary of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Dallas is holding a 'women only' Peace Symposium, "Women as Architects of Peaceful Nations" on Sunday, March 1st. Women have always strived to maintain peace in homes, neighborhoods, and communities; they are the building blocks of peaceful nations.

We will have speakers from all walks of life who are serving their communities followed by a Q/A session. We will be presenting the Dallas AMWA Peace Award to Dr. Jeannie Stone the Superintendent Richardson ISD for her remarkable work in promoting the “Equity Policy” in her district. We will also be honoring 10 year old Naiya Vaden from Frisco ISD for her message of kindness when she was having trouble with classmates. She took the step to reach out to her classmates and said “Let's be Friends”!

The Keynote Speaker will be Dhiya Bakr, National President of Women's Auxiliary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA. Guest Speakers will be Allen City Councilmember Lauren Doherty, FISD Board of Trustee Anne McCausland, and Journalist and Human Rights Activist Mona Kazim Shah.
