Trailer #2 & LAST DAY for TAM Early Registration
Earlier this year, the MAS BOT issued a new mission statement, but how many of us have really grasped its depth and significance? How does tarbiya fit in to the picture? What will change and what stays the same? The best place to learn answers to these questions is TAM ’09, the only national meeting for MAS members this year!

Program Description
TAM this year is going to be an incredible event that you won’t want to miss. MAS members will be gathering from all over the country to strengthen their belief in the mission, deepen their understanding of the role of tarbiya in the mission, build the skills that will help them become active tarbiya-practitioners, and use critical thinking and problem-solving techniques to tackle some of our challenges.
Session and workshop titles include Tarbiya for Outreach: Learning How to Apply Tarbiya to Organized Events and with all kinds of People; MAS: A Society to Fulfill an Obligation: Examining the Arguments behind the Need for Collective Work and a Movement; Reexamining the Usra: Using Critical Thinking to Evaluate an Important Tarbiya Tool; and Maintaining the Spirit of the Muslim Activist: Renewing our Connection with Allah.
There will also be a Tarbiya Skills Clinic session which will include clinics such as “Dealing with Challenges,” “Youth Counseling,” “Usra Troubleshooting,” and “How to Organize a Tarbiya-Oriented Camp.” MAS leadership will be present at every TAM to answer questions and provide perspective. At night, members will join together in night prayer and uplifting dua.
