We are excited to share an important milestone in NAML's growth. For years, our work has been powered by the dedication of volunteers, and over the past year, NAML has been guided by an Acting Executive Director as we prepared for the next stage of our development. That year has allowed us to take a close look at how NAML operates, where our members and programs need the most support, and what it will take to sustain and expand our programming, mentorship, advocacy, and community-building nationwide. Out of that assessment, we have identified the professional staff NAML needs, and we are now hiring our first permanent Executive Director, along with an Operations Associate, and Interns. All positions are remote, and applications are due by November 15, 2026. Full descriptions of each role are included below.
We invite you to consider applying and, just as importantly, to share these opportunities with colleagues, law students, and others in your networks who would be excited to help shape NAML's next chapter. Questions about the positions may be directed to council@naml.info.
Thank you for your continued commitment to NAML and to the Muslim legal community.
Warm regards,
NAML Board of Directors
