Re: ISNA Turkish Symposium, Ideas

[muammer koc]

asa,

 

Dear Sisters and Brothers;

 

It has been more than three months since the message below was sent to you on July 24 !!!

 

Yet, I have not heard back from anyone. 

 

I have mixed feelings about it. 

It must be either you all have been very very busy or don't care about this. 

If it is the latter, then it is more frustrating since everyone was very much interested in having a "say" about the next symposium right before and after the first one back in July. 

 

I could not figure it out why.  So, I have just decided to write to you again, and offer another week to let all of us know if you have any ideas on how we should organize and conduct the next Turkish Symposium during ISNA 2010 in Chicago.

 

Please reply in a week so that we can submit the proposal to ISNA Convention management on time and with full of wonderful ideas. 

 

Thanks

Assalamu alaikom wa Rahmetullah;

Dear Brothers and Sisters;

As of now, we have included almost all interested parties in this list.

Many of you already replied to indicate your willingness to serve in the
Advisory Committee of "Turkish Symposium" in ISNA 2010.  If you have not
responded so far, please do so to let others know who you are.  That would
make each of us feel comfortable in our discussions.

We can now begin sharing our ideas to determine the best setting, topics,
speakers, etc. for our next event during ISNA 2010.

Let me, first, tell you that we will inshAllah organize this symposium under
the mentorship of Professors Yusuf Ziya Kavakci and Erdogan Gurmen who are
already members in this list.

Based on the feedback received during the last event orally or in the
feedback forms, we have already expanded this committee to about 18-20
brothers and sisters.  There are few younger brothers and sisters so that
they begin owning this and similar events.

I would like all of you to write your ideas under the following topics at
your convenience, but *no later than Oct. 15, 2009.*

Then, we will reduce many ideas into few feasible ones, and prepare a
written proposal to be submitted to ISNA by early January 2010 ins.
(latest).

At that time, this committee will become an organizing body, probably with
fewer but fully dedicated members.

I have already placed some ideas below, as the feedbacks from the last
event.  Please add yours and/or expand the sub-topics:

1) TITLE
1.1. Turkish-Muslim-American Symposium
1.2.....
1.3.....

2) SETTING:
2.1. A total of 4 panels, 2 on each day (saturday and sunday)
2.2....
2.3.

3) TOPICS:
3.1: What Turkish-Muslim-Youth thinks?  Who are we? What do we want?
3.2. Muslim Children Talk? Stop talking about our problems, start acting and
let us talk....
3.3. Turkish-Muslim-American Family: An insider's view.  Sisters talk.
3.4: Ottoman's Understanding of Islam- The way it was, scholars, books,
etc....
3.5.
3.6.
3.7

4) SPEAKERS/PANELISTS:
4.1: Youth: 17-20+ years old Turkish-Muslim sisters/brothers
4.2: Children: 10-15 years old kids
4.3: Sisters:
4.4: Few guests from Turkey, not many
4.5: More speakers from the US and possibly from other countries (Europe,
Germany)
4.6: Academicians, Businessmen/woman from different regions of US
4.7:
4.8:

5) OTHERS
5.1: Invite"Mehteran to next ISNA"
5.2:
5.3:
5.4:

6)

7)

Please continue.....

Thank you all.

During the short meeting following the Washington Symposium  the recommendations and suggestions were made about the possible steps to be taken in the future. 

Could someone recapitulate them? Perhaps starting with those, further ideas may be generated on how to organize and conduct the next symposium.

 

E GURMEN

[Muammer Koc]

They are below, but please add more

Thanks
