Shura Council logo greenWe would like to share some updates to make your evening with the Shura Council and the community - more enjoyable.  
  1. Come early, get yourself registered and socialize and network with long-lost friends or make new friends. Registration will start at 5 pm. It is likely that you will be able to visit with Professor Ramadan if you come early.
  2. Program will start at 6:30 pm and dinner will be served at 6:45 pm.
  3. Although the parking is free and ample, we suggest you give yourself sufficient time as the parking lot is shared with multiple hotels and it gets crowded on a Saturday.

  5. Make sure you have a name badge to enter the banquet hall.
  6. All seating is assigned. Please make sure you sit at your assigned table only. 
  7. Professor Ramadan's books (What I Believe; Radical Reform and Islam, the West & the Challenges of Modernity) will be available with his autograph, in limited quantities. If you like to reserve any one or more of these autographed books prior to the event, please call us at 714.239.6473. 
  8. There will be no childcare available at the hotel.
  9. We join you to reaffirm that all good comes from the Most Compassionate God and we thank Him for your support to Shura Council. 
  10. We acknowledge that all shortcomings are exclusively ours and we ask that you be generous with us before, during and after the event.
