As a senior advisor in the Community Affairs Unit of the Office of the Mayor of NYC, Dr. Sarah Sayeed works on strengthening the relationship between Muslim communities and City government. She will describe her outreach efforts, the projects she is working on to address community needs, and the City’s efforts to build trust that had been damaged during the previous administration.

Meyer Retreats for Social Justice as well as Catholic-Muslim dialogue and joint social service projects.
