More UpdatesING Guidelines for Hosting an Interfaith Holiday Event
ING GUIDELINES FOR HOSTING AN INTERFAITH HOLIDAY EVENT As we enter this blessed period, we invite members of all faith communities to take advantage of the holiday season to learn a bit more about another faith, while renewing a commitment to their own faith. At ING we have also used our many years of experience to compile guidelines for hosting interfaith events around the time of religious holidays. Since the entire purpose of these events is to provide a positive experience and representation of one’s faith, it is just as important how the event is executed as having the event itself.

Ameena Jandali joined other East Bay speakers including a representative from Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s office at Albany’s first Annual Peace Day on Sunday, September 23rd. The event was sponsored by the City of Albany’s Social and Economic Justice Committee and was the brainchild of Albany’s mayor, who proposed the idea last year as an event dedicated to preventing war.

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.
City Human Resources Director
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.
