NAAAEA at GeoMEast 2017
Month: October 2019
The National Arab American Association of Engineers and Architects, NAAAEA, attended the GeoMEast 2017 International Conference in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt between July 15 and 19 as a co-sponsor of the event.
NAAAEA was represented by several members including Dr. Rabih Najib, Amal Najib, and Amir Najib from the Capital Area, Dr. Imad Al-Qadi from Chicago, and Dr. Amr Sallam from Florida. NAAAEA had a booth at the event and was visited by many of the 285 attendees of the conference including Dr. Norma Jean Mattei, President of the American Society of Civil Engineers, ASCE.
The conference was a great opportunity for NAAAEA to promote the organization in the Middle East and to let our colleagues there know that they have someone who can assist them when they come to the US.
NAAAEA would like to thank Dr. Hani Farouk for allowing us to be part of this great event, thank him for the hospitality, and congratulate him on this great event.

Month: October 2019
IN MEMORY OF MOHAMMAD AYYASH MILHEM (1927-2015)
I am gratified to report that our colleague, Raed Milhem, and for the second year has chosen to honor his father, Mr. Mohammad Ayyash Milhem, through a $10,000 to the National Arab American Association of Engineers and Architects to support its programs.
This continued commitment reflects well upon the credibility of our organization and upon the quality and dedication of our members.
I want to offer my sincere appreciation to Raed Milhem for his generosity and his faith in the NAAAEA.
The late Mohammad Ayyash Milhem was born in Halloul, Palestine, in 1927. He was an attorney and a writer. Throughout his adult life, Mr. Milhem was civic minded leader and a champion of human rights. He will be missed and long remembered.
