Northville Resident New National ADC Boss
Warren David, the founder and publisher of “Arab Detroit,” has been named president of the national office of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
David, a longtime local activist, was named president of the ADC during its national convention last week.
Founded 31 years ago, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee is based in Washington, D.C.
It is one of the largest and oldest civil rights organizations of its kind in the country.
David, 58, takes the helm June 30.
“It’s a great way to make a contribution to the Arab-American community on a national level,” David said. “It’s a great privilege and also a big responsibility.”
David said the ADC is an organization with a “noble mission” of combating discrimination and fighting for the rights of Arab-Americans from many religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
David, of Northville, will commute and spend most of his time in the nation’s capital.
His wife, Amal, will assume operations at “Arab Detroit,” based in Dearborn, July 1.
David is also the president of the David Communications public relations, marketing and advertising firm.
A third-generation Arab-American of Syrian and Lebanese descent, David is an executive producer of the Detroit Public Television series “Arab American Stories” scheduled to air locally and around the country in January.
David also is a co-producer of the “Images and Perceptions of Arab Americans Diversity Workshop,” aimed at training educators, corporate employees, government officials, and others about the images of Arabs and Arab-Americans.
