    INTERFAITH SUMMIT

The Interfaith Summit is an annual conference which includes: Lectures and Workshops on human values from different faith and cultural perspectives, Diversity and Interfaith Dialogue on human values, and the demonstration of the collective wish to achieve human values in Huntsville, the Nation and the World.

  5. Corporate legal advisors, corporate managers, government procurement managers, union leaders, civil rights specialists and human resource professionals who want to learn more about the role of ethics and human values in resolving conflicts and disputes among the affiliated parties.
  6. School board members and college administrators who want to incorporate human values education in their curricula.
