Our Values
USEF’s progress depends on the integrity and commitment of those who lead it. Our staff and board uphold a clear set of values that inform our choices, strengthen our accountability, and ensure that every initiative is rooted in service to the community.
First, we want to maintain our Islamic Laws, guided by the Quran and Sunnah. Never holding or supporting initiatives which go against our religious beliefs.
Morality
Second, is to be as effective as possible. Running operations with minimal overhead, being transparent, and setting clear strategic goals which are regularly met.
Efficiency
Third, our operations will be conducted in a matter of consensus and unilateral action. No elections or politicking leading to divisions, and conflict.
