The American Task Force on Lebanon (ATFL), a leadership organization of Americans of Lebanese heritage, hosted its annual dinner on May 11 at the Fairmont Hotel in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC.
Themed, “A Tribute to the Courageous People of Lebanon,” the event gathered together US officials, business and civic leaders, and Americans of Lebanese descent to send a clear message of solidarity to the Lebanese people, who are suffering from record-high levels of poverty and are mere days away from the May 15th parliamentary election and to the US government about the necessity of continued US engagement with Lebanon.
At the dinner, the following individuals were honored for their leadership and contributions to the US and Lebanon: Mr. Marcello Damiani, Mr. Said Francis, Dr. Charbel Haber, Dr. Francois Nader, Dr. Joe Sarkis, and Mrs. Joyce Kfoury Sousa of Moderna, Inc. with the 2021 Issam M. Fares
International Leadership Award.
