President's Message

Dear Members and Friends,

As the President, I am deeply honored and proud to welcome you
all to the Islamic Heritage Society (IHS). It is an organization with
a rich legacy which dates back half a century. Moreover, it consists
of members with exceptional talent who unite to accomplish great
things on behalf of the UN diplomatic community and New York at large.

IHS continues to evolve over the years and your help and involvement
are invaluable in order to sustain its progress. This Society aims to
fulfill the promise made by its founders to continually work towards
the successful implementation of its mandate. It does so, by
providing events and programs that are of interest to the UN community
and to many New Yorkers.

During my tenure, my goal is to expand our membership base, enhance
our fundraising ability and widen our influence by making significant
strides in the following areas:

- Make a sustainable impact within New York society and within the UN
diplomatic family through our presence.
- Harness our heritage, leverage our influence towards positively
impacting the lives of historically underprivileged people and
communities.

At the same time, we aim to make all of the above engaging, educational, and fun.

Most Sincerely,

Mrs. Mudhi Arasid
Her Excellency Spouse of the PR of The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the UN
