Arab American Business Fellowship

An Invitation to Become a 2010 Fellow

U.S. Center for Citizen Diplomacy, in partnership with Business for Diplomatic Action and its partners now welcome nominations from American candidates for the 2010 Zamala: Arab & American Business Fellowship Program. Find out how to apply for the fellowship.

Background

The Arab and American Business Fellowship (AABF) brings high-potential young executives from the Middle East to the United States to learn about American business, society and culture, and sends young American executives to Middle Eastern countries for the same purpose.  It’s the only private sector-led exchange program that creates relationships to foster professional development, corporate success and economic growth as well as cross-cultural understanding and respect. 

Launched in 2007 by Business for Diplomatic Action, the Young Arab Leaders, and the U.S. Center for Citizen Diplomacy, it has been a transformative experience for the influential young Arabs and Americans who have participated to date.
