Bob Norberg
A 31-year career with Aramco began for Robert Norberg in 1964 when he started
working for the company’s Public and Government Relations department in Dhahran,
Saudi Arabia. In 1984 he transferred to the Washington DC office, from where he
retired as Director in 1995.
Mr. Norberg has been closely involved with the National Council on U.S.-Arab
Relations’ Kerr High School Scholars in Arab and Islamic Studies Program, which
involved sending talented high school students to Middle Eastern countries to
study Arab and Islamic culture. He has also been an orientation speaker for the
National Council on the subject of living and working in Saudi Arabia.
Since his retirement, Mr. Norberg has been an activist on issues involving
Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. He serves on the boards of Americans for
Middle East Understanding (AMEU) and American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA).
AMEU addresses the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in its publication The
Link, and Norberg has managed AMEU’s project to make the entire archive of
that publication available on the internet, at www.ameu.org, for easy access by the media, academicians and
the general public.
ANERA was founded in 1968 to provide relief to refugees of the 1967 war, and
expanded its mission over the years to include long-term development in
education, health, community infrastructure, and agriculture. To find out more

Mr. Norberg earned a degree in journalism from the University of
Minnesota.
