The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) seeks applications and nominations for the position of Secretary General.  After serving as ISNA Secretary General for two years, Dr. Muneer Fareed will be stepping down from the position at the end of 2008 to return to scholarly pursuits.  ISNA is deeply grateful to Dr. Fareed for taking upon himself the heavy responsibility of ISNA Secretary General and wishes him success in his new projects.
