Maha Freij
|
Maha Freij is Chief Financial Officer for ACCESS, the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services. A graduate of the Hebrew University in Accounting and Economics, Freij was the first Arab/Palestinian woman to earn a CPA license in Israel in 1989 - the same year she immigrated to the US.
Freij has been praised for spearheading the introduction and implementation of philanthropy to the culture of ACCESS and its supporters. She believes that financial stability and systems are fundamental to building strong institutions, which in turn lead to powerful, self-expressed communities.
Freij has successfully lead the recent Arab American Heritage Campaign of ACCESS. In four years, the three-pronged effort has raised more than $18 million and built the first-ever Arab American National Museum, which opened May 2005 as well as a much-needed comprehensive Health and Research Center.
