Thank You for Attending the 20th Anniversary Gala & Awards Reception

Last month, MuBANY proudly celebrated our 20th Anniversary Gala & Awards Reception under this year’s theme: "Roots to Radiance."

What began in 2006 as a vision shared by a small group of Muslim lawyers has grown into a vibrant community rooted in mentorship, advocacy, public service, and connection. As we reflected on the past twenty years, we also celebrated the people who made this journey possible — our founders, past leaders, members, mentors, sponsors, allies, and supporters.

We were honored to recognize this year’s incredible awardees Nermeen Arastu, Ali Najmi, Zakiyyah Salim-Williams, and Asim Rehman.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special milestone celebration, including members of the bench and bar, elected officials, affinity bar associations, sponsors, law students, and community leaders. Your presence reminded us that MuBANY’s greatest strength has always been its community.



As we look toward the future, we remain committed to building pathways for the next generation of Muslim attorneys and continuing the work of advocacy, mentorship, and service that has defined MuBANY for the past twenty years.

Here’s to the next chapter. 🌟
