Message From ICF Ameer
Assaalam-o-Alaikum Respected Community Members
As per the results of ICF elections held on Nov 26, 2023, new Board has taken over the responsibilities of running the affairs of the Masjid effective Dec 31, 2023.
First and foremost, we thank Allah SWT for giving us the opportunity to serve his house. We are also extremely grateful to ICF community for choosing us for this responsibility. We are also thankful to the outgoing Shura members for their hard work and service to the community. May Allah reward them and their families for the sacrifices they made to serve the house of Allah as dedicated volunteers and able leaders and take our Masjid forward.
In line with the requirements set forth in the Constitution of ICF, I have made the following appointments:
General Secretary: Zainab Siddiqi
Treasurer: Farooq Ahmed
Please join me in congratulating them for assuming these extremely important positions.
New board is taking over at an exciting but critical time when we are getting closer to completion of 1st floor of our new building. We will continue to focus on making sure that 1st floor is ready for the month of Ramadan In-Sha-Allah and bring stability to financial health of the Masjid. You will be hearing more about this in coming months.
New Board strongly believes that outgoing board laid a strong foundation of empowering the community to run Masjid affairs with support by forming many committees led and run by the community member with support from the Board. New board will continue to leverage this structure and continue to solidify the committees with more structure and processes In Sha Allah. Do not forget to signup for our newsletter where all volunteer opportunities and committee openings are advertised.
We look forward to working closely with ICF staff, our strategic partners, volunteers, and other community stakeholders to ensure we meet our goals.
To promote transparency and easy access to the Board, new board will start two initiatives:
1. Community members will be able to setup online appointments with any shura members on a specific weekday to share their concerns or get answers to their questions.
2. Open board meeting will be held every quarter and schedule of these meetings will be advertised ahead of time. Community will be able to see how board conducts its business and will also get opportunity to make public comments at designated time.
More details for the above will be coming out soon In-Sha-Allah.
You may also send your questions or concerns via email at [email protected].
Please keep us in your duas.
Jazakallah-o-Khairan
