Celebrating 60 Years of Engagement — the title of our annual report for 2011— covers a year of fruitful engagement to meet new challenges in the Middle East and North Africa. As AMIDEAST marked its sixtieth anniversary in 2011, it was also a time to reflect on AMIDEAST’s legacy of serving this important region since 1951 through education, training, exchange, and institutional development in order to expand opportunity, better young people’s lives, and advance mutual understanding.
