Community & Culture

NIAC takes immense pride in the rich tapestry that makes up the Iranian-American community and culture. Our heritage provides us common ground to grow as a community as we trailblaze in the U.S.

Our heritage provides us common ground to grow as a community and support one another as we trailblaze in the U.S. From artists and activists to civic leaders and entrepreneurs, Iranian-Americans have made an undeniably positive impact on the fabric of American society. NIAC is proud to work alongside so many of these individuals dedicated to lifting-up our community and contributing to the advancement of the country we call home. Community reminds us of the deeper meaning of our work and why we protect our heritage with such care.
