There is nothing we can't accomplish
"President Message 2021"

Let me start by thanking all of you for trusting and giving me this opportunity and honor to lead this great community association. I am really humbled and looking forward to continuing working with all of you to take this organization beyond existence.

You have also elected a great team of leaders who are passionate about what they do, very dedicated and hardworking members of this association.The past two years have been really challenging when it comes to community engagements. The Pandemic has re-shaped the World and the way we network.That being said, there is something about a new year that stirs optimism. This is the time to embrace the best vision of what lies ahead, choosing optimism over fear as we come together to tackle new challenges.

I believe there is nothing we can’t accomplish when we are aligned behind shared passion of moving this community forward.

Looking forward, we should see more community engagement activities resuming, and more opportunities to help and engage Youth in the community and leadership.

Stay Safe and Healthy,

Juma Mzungu Omary
