IMAN LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
Hoosier Muslims have always been a part of the robust civic society, contributing across a wide variety of fields. Now, more than ever, it’s time to ensure our voices are heard, our communities are represented, and our values are reflected in public service. The IMAN Leadership Academy is designed to build a pipeline for Muslim leaders.
What is the IMAN Leadership Academy?
We’ve seen our first Muslim Congressman, first State Senator, and first Judge.
The IMAN Leadership Academy is an exciting new opportunity for Hoosier Muslims who are ready to step into the next level of leadership and civic engagement. This conference will bring together emerging and seasoned leaders from Muslim communities across Indiana for a one-of-a-kind training experience. Participants in our 2025 class will gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to be more effective, visible, and impactful in their communities. Through interactive workshops led by experienced trainers, attendees will learn strategic, practical ways Muslims can shape policies, serve their communities, and influence the future of Indiana. From understanding how government works, to building relationships with decision-makers, this conference will equip participants with the tools to make a real difference. After completing this training, our attendees will be prepared to:
Be more effective advocates for their communities
Build meaningful relationships with government and civic institutions
Understand the unique role of Muslims in shaping Indiana’s future
Be inspired to run for local office
