This year, Dr. Adil Najam, TCF-USA director and dean of Pardee School of Global Studies Boston University attended the event as the key note speaker.

“Education has always been a big part of my upbringing and I feel The Citizen’s Foundation is an excellent platform that allows me to help educate the under privileged children,” said TCF-Boston Chapter Lead Marhama Alvi Shah.
