The 4th Annual Public Relations Seminar held this past weekend at Bait-uz Zafar in Queens, New York was a world-class, high-powered event.

The seminar illustrated techniques and provided information which public relation personnels can implement to achieve the desired objectives as set out by His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the  Head of the Worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

Mr. Zinda M. Bajwa, one of the National Vice President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA (AMC) led the Media Team Steering Committee and informed the more than 85 delegates belonging to over 44 chapters of the AMC about the importance of effective public relations. The seminar was deliberately "aggressive and ambitious" to generate enthusiasm for action among all participants.



Mr. Bajwa also serves as the Chairman of the National Public Relations' Desk of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA which has some 70 chapters throughout the United States.

The senior delegates attending the seminar included Dr. Ehsan Zafar, National President, AMC-USA; Dr. Ayaz Khan, AMC-London; Imam Nasim Mahdi, National Vice President and Missionary In-charge, AMC-USA, Abid Khan, AMC, Press Desk London, UK.

During the course of the two-day seminar, delegates were given an intense orientation on the broad national objectives underway. The basic premise was to develop plans at the local chapter level by increasing awareness and engaging with elected officials at a grass roots effort. This is critical for raising concerns about the Religious Discrimination and Human Right issues at Capital Hill.

With specific targets to accomplish the delegates set April 11 as the deadline to meet elected U.S. officials armed with facts and to inform them how AMC is impacted both at home and abroad.

The message to deliver is not ‘please help us’ rather ‘what can we do to help you!’
