NCUSAR is a leading agency in bridging the gap between the US and Arab Nations. It administers 5 programs. I did summer internship with the Council and it's terrifically deserves the time out into it. I learned how to talk and convince and influence the audience. They administer an annually conference where top diplomats and policy makers from the Arab Nations and from all over the states come and listen to key speakers. It's very organized and really worth it.
