At the heart of MEMI’s work is the Council of Experts, a diverse body composed of individuals from the Middle East’s minority communities. Council members contribute lived experience, community perspectives, and practical insight that direct the Institute’s analysis, publications, events, and policy engagement. The Council of Experts ensures that MEMI’s work remains grounded in the realities facing minority communities across the region and provides a platform for voices that are too often underrepresented in policy discussions.
