Why? 
Why do we need a professional network for Muslims? 
• Lack of career diversity and awareness 
• Haphazard career mentoring 
• Muslims are in leadership positions to help others 
• Alternative to professional fraternity and alumni organizations 
• No forum for start-up incubation or broader business development 
• MakeSpace has built an “open” community with values needed for professionals
7 
“Pass it on”
8 
MakeStrides provides a platform for Career-building 
Successful careers will empower Muslims to build a 
stronger community.
