LeadUS is a newly established study group that seeks to promote fikrah (thought) and leadership capabilities for the next generation of Islamic workers. The core members of LeadUS were mostly active as student leaders in the middle 1970s through the 1990s with a specific interest in promoting Islam. We continued to carry this interest in our various endeavors involving politics, government, corporate business, social work, academia, entrepreneurship and others.
With this abundant wealth of shared experience and continual learning of Islam, we feel we have something unique to offer the young generation of Muslim activists in terms of ideas, thoughts and leadership.
