In this role, I have been fortunate to meet many of the NWICC members, from parents to fellow volunteers to our youngest members—the new generation of American-raised Muslims. I have been a member of the Elections Committee for the last three years and have also participated in the Eid Activities Committee. Through these activities I see firsthand what we can accomplish by working together, and I would be humbled to serve a term as a board member.
