Community Town Hall Meeting Television Program E-mail
EVENTS

MoroccoBoard TV 's Town Hall Meeting between community members and the Moroccan American Coalition (MAC).  The Town Hall meeting introduced the coalition to a larger audience,  opened dialogue and doors of communication between MAC and the community.

This was accomplished by providing MAC with a platform where it  introduced and presented itself and its programs, and gave community members direct access to MAC for a direct conversation

The panel was comprised of two MAC representatives; Boubker Abisorour, MAC V.P. and  Hassan Samrhouni, MAC Exec Board Member and two experienced community activists Latifa ElHadri  and Hamid Mernissi.

The questions received by email from the community were asked by the moderator, while the attendees had the floor open to ask their own.

Topics discussed varied from discussing MAC’s vision, to ways to entice community members to join, to acquiring about clauses in the bylaws, among others.
Discussions and debates were at times heated and intense and other times light and cordial.  There was also an atmosphere of openness, sincerity, and honesty in fielding questions or expressing opinions through commentaries.
It brings us great pleasure to share with you the taping of this Town Hall meeting and we do welcome any and all your commentaries.
The Program is now showing at  Morocco Board

Leila  - Moroccan American Women of MAC!   |2008-11-06 15:17:53
First of all,special thanks to all of those that are putting time and effort into making this possible.
After visiting MAC site,I wish that the board tries to do something about energizing the Moroccan American Women to getting involved. It's sad that the association has only 2 Women members.

المهدي سعيد  - تساؤلات حول ماك   |2008-10-22 16:20:02
العمل الجمعوي هو فعل تطوعي تقف وراءه قيام و التزامات تزكي حركات الفاعل . لذا يمكن ان نطرح التساؤلات التالية حول ماك

ماهي أهداف ماك ؟

ماهي آليات تفعيل أهداف ماك ؟

ماهو دور ماك في تنمية جلب الإستثمار إلى المغرب؟

هل ماك تسعى لفتح فرع بالمغرب و خلق شراكة مع
جمعيات المجتمع المدني بالغرب؟
اتمنى لكم التوفيق .
والسلام عليكم

Hi All,
First of all congratulations abt MAC creation & I wish you the best of luck.
However, I think the discussion should have been in English since you had an American guest invited. You excluded him by speaking Arabic and he was out of the group, especially when he wanted to raise the question, he said sorry if I am repeating if it was said already in Arabic and NO ONE of you Moroccans said to him SORRY we are speaking Arabic and took the initiative to ask everyone to switch in ENGLISH.
Hope you take this into consideration and whenever someone else is invited who does not speak the language, ENGLISH should be the language spoken...this is just a small comment and hope it's constructive to you!
Thank you again for your efforts to help out the Moroccan community in the US and also the US people to understand more about Morocco and the Moroccans.
Best Regards,
Aziza

Here's a modest participation in discussing undertaken by Moroccan member of MAC about the goals and mission of this important community board
Some objectives:

1 - strategy work he must build and unite around;
2 - clarify and organize objectives;
3 - database installed at the central headquarters of MAC Washington all citizens of Moroccan-American and Moroccan immigrants with the necessary information (full name, address, GSM, E-mail, familiar situation ... etc);
4 - another database of associations and institutions located in USA;
5 - incorporating human potential targets in the MAC (EX: a branch in anthropological research and extension of the Moroccan culture and in conjunction with the host country's culture, an association or branch or department medical Moroccan ; artists ... etc.).
6 - develop means of communication and TV Show in addition to the website are first steps.
7 - Pass momentarily existential problems MAC until the right time of democratic renewal of the association. And avoid the sense of authority.
I can say that this gathering of Moroccans may be an exception should otherwise be in the country. Good Luck

Abdelssamad Attif(generationci  - منهجية سليمة في نظري     |2008-10-18 05:11:38
اشكر لكم تطرقكم لهدا الموضوع والدي ساعلق عليه من جهتي كرئيس جمعية من المجتمع المدني
اولا باتخادكم استراتيجية في تشكيل شبكة تقوم بادراة الجمعيات خاصة المنضوية تحت لواء ماك فهدا سيجعل في نظري سرعة في العمل والفعالية خاصة على المستوى الدي تشتغلون عليه
لدي اقتراح
هل من الممكن ان تنضم اي جمعية الى ماك وان كانت متواجدة بالمغرب
نسعد بالعمل وفق مناهج أكثر سلامة وفي مصلحة البلد الام المغرب
شكرا لكم هنيئا ثم هنيئا على هدا العمل الجبار
بالتوفيق الابدي

Adilski  - The Million Dollar Question     |2008-10-19 21:36:04
First of all, Thanks to all members for their appearance and willingness to communicate with the public about MAC.

But I'd like to point out that the members have repeatedly failed to answer the Mr. Hamid's questions about the specific vision and measurable objectives of MAC.

Also, Two members have said apposed things about the nature of MAC. While Mr. Hassam Semghouni said it's in no way a political umbrella association, Mr. Hjouji has argued that one of its goals is to reach a political goal. Therefore, may be the leading members should sit down and resharpen their visions and goals.
