About LANA
Who We Are
LANA brings together Libyans who believe a stronger community is built through connection, contribution, good character, and investing in one another.
Based in the Bay Area, we create meaningful relationships across generations while opening opportunities to learn, mentor, contribute, and grow together.
Our Purpose
What We’re Building Together
Connect. Mentor. Share. Grow.
LANA brings Libyan Americans together to build meaningful relationships, pass on knowledge and experience, and create opportunities to grow, contribute, and make an impact.
The Culture We Choose
The Culture We Choose
Strong communities grow when people bring their experience, ideas, and strengths together.
LANA believes progress begins with how we engage one another — with respect, openness, good character, and a genuine willingness to contribute.
We value our Libyan heritage while embracing the diverse experiences, cultures, and perspectives that shape our lives in America and around the world. We believe there is always more to learn — from one another and from the communities around us.
Respect
We treat one another with dignity, kindness, and good manners, especially when we see things differently.
Open Dialogue
We listen, ask questions, speak honestly, and engage different perspectives with an open mind. We focus disagreements on ideas, never individuals.
Character
Integrity, humility, reliability, and how we treat others matter as much as experience, knowledge, or achievement.
Contribution
Good ideas matter. So does the willingness to participate, take responsibility, and help turn ideas into meaningful outcomes.
Collaboration
We recognize one another's strengths, share knowledge and credit, and understand that lasting progress is built together.
Stewardship
وَأَحْسِن كَمَا أَحْسَنَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ
“And do good as Allah has done good to you.”
Qur’an 28:77We are fortunate to call the United States home — a country of extraordinary opportunity that has enabled generations of Libyan Americans to learn, build, succeed, and contribute.
We believe those opportunities carry a responsibility: to contribute to the country and communities we call home, and to share our knowledge, experience, connections, and resources in ways that can help Libya move forward.
We are grateful for what we have been given and believe in putting those blessings to good use.
Pass It Forward
What we learn should not end with us.
We believe experience becomes more valuable when it is shared. What we learn through our careers, businesses, families, communities, and experiences around the world should not end with us. We pass it forward so others can go further.
Community-Led
Built by people who care about our community.
LANA is built and led by members of the Libyan American community who volunteer their time, experience, and expertise in service to others. Our leadership and volunteers are united by a commitment to integrity, respect, good character, collaboration, and service — working together to strengthen connections and create opportunities for current and future generations.
Community
Meaningful connections built on respect, kindness, and good character.
Heritage
Celebrating our Libyan identity while carrying its values forward.
Growth
Creating opportunities for personal, professional, and generational growth.
Impact
Turning experience, ideas, and collective effort into meaningful action.
