AKDN Speaker Series

The AKDN Speaker Series is an initiative of the Golden Jubilee Nazrana International Task Force, with support from the Ismaili Councils for Canada and the United States. It is intended to inform the Jamat about volunteer opportunities for those who wish to offer a nazrana of time and knowledge (TKN).

Each event in the series is delivered through a live webcast, and affords the Jamat a chance to learn about a specific institution — its vision, objectives, projects, and opportunities — as well as to submit questions to the speaker.
