About Arab American Women's Business Council
Founded in October 2007 in Dearborn, Michigan, the Arab American Women's Business Council represents a grassroots movement dedicated to inspiring Arab American women to achieve success and lead in the business world. Operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit professional organization, the Council serves as a trusted community hub for Arab American women professionals, business owners, and young women pursuing careers in business across Michigan and throughout the country.
What sets the Arab American Women's Business Council apart is its deep commitment to culturally competent programming rooted in servant leadership. The organization's leadership team is comprised of women from the same communities they serve, ensuring authentic understanding of the unique challenges and aspirations Arab American women face in professional environments. This proximity to community needs allows the organization to develop meaningful, relevant programs that truly resonate with members.
The Council's three-pillar approach—Inspire, Empower, and Connect—guides all initiatives. Members benefit from peer networking with accomplished business and professional women, exclusive discounts to events and partner programs, leadership skill development through committee involvement, and access to structured mentorship support. The organization has built alliances with ten major organizations and maintains a confidential support system for members facing personal or professional challenges. Over 17 years of service, the Arab American Women's Business Council has established itself as the leading organization for Arab American women seeking representation at every level across every industry, creating pathways to success while building strong, lasting professional connections within the Dearborn community and beyond.
