MET Professional Network - MPN
Our Vision
In a First Step toward establishing the first Islamic Chamber of Commerce in Portland, Oregon, the Muslim Educational Trust launched the MET Professional Network - MPN in Fall 2013. MPN is a networking channel within the Muslim community designed to foster professional relationships and encourage a spirit of innovation; the committee's goal is to drive economic development in the greater Portland area by promoting, connecting, and advocating professionals, businesses, and individuals with big ideas. Some of our programs in the making include Business Start-ups, Microfinance, trade shows, seminars, and meet-ups. We have big dreams to bring about dignity to our community through small business entrepreneurship and micro-finance opportunities that will empower individuals and families toward financial independence. It is our hope that MPN will eventually pave the way to the first Islamic Credit Union/Bank in the greater Portland, Oregon area.
