In September 2015 a group of professionals came together with a vision:
‘Inspire leadership and empower change in our communities.’
In order to achieve this vision, MAX’s Mission is to:
‘Recognize and accelerate productive contributions made by Muslims in North America through academic and professional development.’

Todays North American Muslim Community is rich and multifaceted, boasting a large population of individuals belonging to diverse groups. MAX, as an organization, is committed to the principles of respect, value and inclusion of all individuals regardless of their ethnic origin, gender, age, physical ability and education.
MAX (Muslim Awards for Excellence) is committed to diversity and recognises the multivalence of identities that make up the Muslim community and its allies including race, gender and the differently abled. Throughout the organization, including all volunteer recruitment efforts and MAX Awards and Scholarships, we strive to create a representative climate of respect, fairness, diversity, and cooperation between all individuals.
