The National Network for Muslim Technology Professionals
AMITA — the American Muslim IT Association — connects Muslim professionals across software, data, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, product, cloud, IT, research and technology leadership throughout the United States. Members build trusted relationships, find mentors, share opportunities, develop skills and serve the community while remaining grounded in Islamic values.
Our Mission
