Advisory services for U.S. government audiences

The affairs we advise on.

Nexus Metanoia advises on five areas: Arab American communities in cities and states; Arab American Affairs, covering Arab Christians, Arab Muslims, and Arab Jews; engagement with government; international context, as a secondary area; and the private sector.

Officials are often asked to serve Arab American communities that are routinely flattened into a single story. Our work is to keep the distinctions in view, and to relate them to decisions federal, state, and local government actually has to make.

01

Communities in cities and states

What federal, state, and local officials should understand about the Arab American communities in the places they serve, including differences of place, heritage, faith, and generation that are often flattened in policy conversations.

Arab American Affairs

Arab American communities include Arab Christians, Arab Muslims, and Arab Jews. All three belong in any briefing on Arab Americans, rather than in a footnote.

  • Arab American Christians

    Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant parishes, and the civic life around them.

  • Arab American Muslims

    Mosques, Islamic centers, and the civic life around them.

  • Arab American Jews

    Synagogues and communal institutions, including Sephardi and Mizrahi congregations, and the civic life around them.

International context

Short context on how Arab governments’ policies and priorities toward the United States bear on Arab American communities and on U.S. relations, read without treating the Arab world as a single actor.

05

Private sector

Nexus Metanoia also advises U.S. companies and organizations whose work touches Arab American communities, as customers, employees, neighbors, or partners. The advice draws on the same understanding we bring to government audiences.

  • Cultural insight

    Context on differences of heritage, faith, and generation within Arab American communities, so decisions rest on an accurate picture rather than a single story.

  • Community engagement

    Advice on engaging Arab American communities and their institutions in the cities and states where an organization operates, with accuracy and respect.

  • Reputation and risk awareness

    Background on how decisions, messages, and events may be received across Arab American communities, so leaders can weigh them in advance.

Private-sector engagements are accepted only from U.S.-based organizations and are scoped in writing. We do not promise particular outcomes.
