About ISSA
With the growth of Muslim population in North America, many social issues are developing which need immediate and professional attention. As individual communities struggle to meet the needs of their communities in the area of social and family services it is of paramount importance that a national organization be established.
At the annual conference of Muslim Social Services May 1999 in Virginia, the Islamic Social Services Association (ISSA) was founded and a board was appointed to carry out the objectives of ISSA.
Subsequently, separate non-profit corporations in the USA and Caanda were incorporated having their own voluntary board of directors for services to be delivered in the U.S.A and Canada respectively. These two boards of directors work together on projects and a joint management committee has been set up with an Executive Director.
