About Kurdish National Congress of North America
Kurdish National Congress of North America was one of the first nonprofit organization in North America geared towards the goal of a unified Kurdistan.
In July of 1988, a small committee was formed to arrange and organize a a Kurdish umbrella organization. The committee members were: Asad Khailany, Ibrahim Salih, Asfandiar Shukri, Ahmed Uthman, Jalal Shaban, Wafa Khorsheed, and Abdul Haleem Mostafa. With them, the first annual conference was set for August 1989.
Through years of dedication and care, KNCNA still stands as one of North America’s largest and oldest nonprofits dedicated to the Kurdish cause and the Kurdish Diaspora. In 2018, we celebrated 30 years of hard work, empowerment and unification.
The Kurdish National Congress of North America shall promote unity and common purpose among all Kurds, regardless of their political and religious orientation.
