Connecting Finance Professionals and Institutions in the Middle East & North Africa
ABANA is the preeminent US organization for finance professionals and institutions with interest in the Middle East and North Africa.
John Mack ABANA Fellowship Award
This Fellowship was established to honor the indomitable spirit of John Mack, former Chairman and CEO of Morgan Stanley. As beautifully detailed in his memoir, Up Close and All In, John’s drive to succeed comes in large part from his Lebanese heritage, particularly his grandfather, Hanna Makhoul Fakhoury, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1903. From an Ellis Island newcomer to the CEO of Morgan Stanley, the Mack legacy is inspiring. The ABANA Foundation is proud to honor John and his family by supporting the education of others who might themselves become a future John Mack.
The ABANA Foundation is the 501(c)(3) charitable arm of ABANA that was established to promote the advancement of education and social equity.
