Beginning in October, Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA) will be visiting several major cities across the U.S. to meet and greet the Iranian American community.  These events will give you a chance to learn more about PAAIA and the vision that it represents, as well as some of PAAIA's current projects.  This will also be an opportunity for you to provide us with your feedback and have your questions about PAAIA answered, and to learn how you can be involved with our organization.  PAAIA staff, including its Executive Director Babak Hoghooghi, and Rudi Bakhtiar, PAAIA's Director of Public Relations and former primetime anchor at CNN, will be on hand to introduce PAAIA and answer any questions you may have.
