Annual Meeting and Workshop

Each year, the Middle East Outreach Council hosts a teacher workshop in conjunction with the Middle East Studies Association (MESA) conference. Our annual board meeting (private) and business meeting (open) are held at the MESA conference.

We offer a limited number of travel awards for educators who wish to attend the workshop and MESA conference.
