Assalamualaikum!!
Welcome to another great year with the MSA. It's been an honor and a privilege to get elected to continue as Zonal Representative for the upcoming 2008-09 school year. There are a lot of great ideas we would like to initiate and progress on for the upcoming year. I make dua that it is a fruitful year and that we can connect more students together and help empower and motivate Muslim students to continue doing the great things that they do.
To kick off the new term, the Lone Star Council, Texas' council , which is a part of MSA National,hosted the 2008 ISNA South Central Conference in Houston Texas.
The program featured a College Fair, a Career Fair for MSA and high school students and a great executive training track with the MSA COMPASS training team. The conference also featured main session discussions with Dr. Ingrid Mattson, Dr. Muneer Fareed, and Dr. Abdulhakim Jackson.
The sessions with our esteemed scholars were all filled to capacity masha'Allah. Likewise, the COMPASS training sessions were extremely effective with sessions such as the Executive Roundtable connecting leaders from all over Texas and regions such as Louisiana and New Mexico.
Below are some photos from the event, to give you a glimpse of the great activities of the weekend. Never underestimate southern hospitality, guests and attendees alike were impressed and excited by the hospitality and greatness of the Texas MSAers, who not only ran their own conference but assisted ISNA with many of their functions as well.
Many thanks to Fariha Tayyib and Nawal Elnashar for all their hard work. These two conference chairs and their conference team put in incredible effort to allow this conference to happen. Keep them in your duas please.
There are many great things coming up with the Central Zone, so keep posted for more!
Wa Alaikum as Salaam,
Nura Sediqe
Central Zone Representative---

03/31/08: Central Zone Conference a Success!
Thank you to all the speakers, volunteers, and attendees who made the MSA National 2008 Central Zone Conference a success!
With over 200 students representing nearly 30 MSAs, the attendees participated in a dynamic program and unique activities, including Action Hour to paint a children's center, a MSA networking session, skill building workshops, and a film screening about the civil rights issues surrounding the Dr. Sami Al-Arian case.
"I've never been to a Zonal Conference before," said one attendee. "But this program addressed all the issues that have been on my mind lately."
A special thanks to UMSL and SLU MSAs, who under the leadership of Br. Danish Adil worked tirelessly to organize the conference.
