**Ali Noorani to Step Down Next Year**

**Washington, D.C. **- Ali Noorani, National Immigration Forum and
America Is Better President and CEO, plans to transition out of the
organizations in the spring of 2022.

Over the course of nearly 14 years leading the National Immigration
Forum, Noorani has worked in partnership with the board, staff and
stakeholders across the country to engage moderate and conservative
voices in promoting commonsense reforms to our nation's immigration
system. Today, in a moment of increased polarization, the Forum and
America Is Better will continue their work with national security and
law enforcement leaders, evangelical Christians, business leaders and
others who recognize that all Americans will benefit from better
immigration policies - and a better conversation.

The Forum and America Is Better boards already are laying the groundwork
to find Noorani's successor. Amy Dominguez-Arms, Vice Chair of the
Forum Board of Directors, is chairing a search committee that represents
the ethnic, political and geographic diversity of those engaged in the
Forum's work.

"As an organization deeply trusted by conservatives, moderates and
liberals alike, Ali leaves the Forum in an exceptionally strong
position," said 

**Rebecca Tallent, Forum Board Chair**. "At this critical moment in the
conversation around immigration, the Forum's strategy is unique,
effective and invaluable to the movement. In 2022, as we continue to
advocate for the value of immigrants and immigration to the nation, we
look forward to celebrating Ali's work and welcoming a new leader of
the Forum."

"Few organizations share the Forum's ability to bring communities and
policy makers together around immigration," 

**Dominguez-Arms **said. "We look forward to a search and eventual hire
that reinforces our culture of collaboration, inclusion and empathy. The
search committee is committed to a process that taps into the knowledge
of the Forum's staff and partners in order to recruit the most
qualified candidates." 

"Leading these organizations has been an incredible honor," 

**Noorani **said. "The expertise of the staff and boards of the Forum
and America Is Better will allow the organizations to continue to be a
trusted voice that brings people with different backgrounds to one
table. I can't thank our staff, boards, partners and supporters enough
for their commitment to our work - and, in the end, to immigrants and
the Americans who depend on them."
