Muslim Finance Professional Association
The MFPA (Muslim Finance Professionals Association of New York) has decided to become a part of the broader national network of Muslim Urban Professionals (Muppies). This is a natural progression for the MFPA given the inherent synergies and overlap in objectives of both organizations.

Looks like they have chapters in NY, Dallas, Chicago, SF, Houston, London & Dubai.
