Over the past two decades, The Moroccan American population in the United States of America has exponentially increased becoming one of the most vibrant and fastest growing communities in the US rising to prominence in many areas of business and daily life, commerce and trade, education, medicine and professional services. Today, Moroccan Americans are becoming an integral part of the diversity and fabric that makes up the land of uncle Sam. Given these new developments and realities, it is important more than ever for our community to organize in order to succeed, to unite to become stronger and to unleash its potential. In this town hall meeting, that commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Washington Moroccan Club (WMC), the Moroccan Society of Houston has partnered with WMC to explore ways to consolidate the Moroccan presence in the United States through an open dialogue and discussion by a panel that comprises a selected group of people who have deep understanding of issues in Morocco and in the United States.
