05/02/11 – ING responds to Osama Bin Laden’s death with a sense of hope that a dark chapter in the history of the world may now come to a close. For too long Bin Laden’s actions and rhetoric have created a threat to the lives and security of all people of the world, in violation of Islamic teachings that clearly condemn terrorism and unequivocally forbid the targeting of civilians and indiscriminate violence.

04/14/11 – While Earth Day this year falls on April 22nd, communities across the nation and the world are convening activities throughout the month. This annual commemoration is a timely reminder of the growing importance of taking care of this earth, our home. With growing evidence of climate change and its impact and the continuing threat of recent oil spills, nuclear melt-downs and other smaller environmental disasters, all citizens of this earth must rededicate ourselves to this important issue and do what we can to play our part. At ING we adopted eco-friendly policies in 2007 that we strive to implement not only in the office but in our homes. As a reminder to ourselves and to our volunteers and supporters we encourage taking the necessary steps to live a life that is more environmental and conscious of the responsibility we all bear.

The entire experience of planning a series of seminars with ING was inspirational. They did an amazing job. The ING team welcomed input along the way which allowed each session to be even better than the one before it. We will continue to work with ING as I am confident that they will continue to provide value in our work.

I thought the ING seminar, “Preventing and Responding to Anti-Muslim Bigotry,” was an extremely valuable training for law enforcement, especially in today’s day and age with all the misunderstandings and misperceptions of the Muslim community…I feel this training will help my staff and I in developing better relationships and in responding to the needs of our community. I highly recommend this training to others.
