Alhamdullilah, the 2015 EMC Convention was a great success thanks to our wonderful, hard working hosts, board members and hundreds of engaged attendees.

The humidity and heat didn’t stop everyone from coming together with big smiles and open ears to discuss pressing communication issues in our families, work places and communities. Check out the highlights below and look at more pictures in our Dallas convention gallery.
