minutes of meeting
Asslamu Alaikum,
Here are the minutes to the last meeting. Please take a look and make corrections. Please complete your action items and keep all of us informed about the developments.
-Monem
In Attendance: Monem Salam, Riyad Shama, Assim Mohammad, Hana Unus, Naeem Mohammed, Asad Siddiqui, Narjes Misherji
We began the meeting by discussing the MYNA Chair position. Because of her busy schedule, Hana Unus will no longer be able to take on this position. It was discussed that maybe we should not, temporarily, have a MYNA Chair. It is important that youth stay involved, but finding a chair at this time will distract the Board.
Resolved: Appoint youth on the various committees; when at the end of the year, we do a FYLTP, we can choose the new MYNA officers
Action Item: Hana will send out names of potential youth that could be on the committees
Next we discussed the Organization Committee and Assim Mohammed gave an update. Assim has been trying to consolidate all the paperwork and bank accounts for MYNA. He is also trying to locate the constitution, by-laws, and tax id status. Monem said that ISNA has boxes in the basement that belong to MYNA and that he has told Sis. Habibe to let everyone on staff know that if they find MYNA files, to email them to us.
Resolved: After doing preliminary work, Assim will go to ISNA HQ and go through the boxes. Assim will also inquire from Iron Mountain about cost of storage of MYNA files.
Next we discussed the Web committee and Riyadh gave an update. The www.myna.org site is not currently owned by MYNA. It is owned by Infocom, which got bought out recently. They own the domain name and have owned it, and MYNA has been using it for free. Also, we discussed the design document for the MYNA website. Assim suggested that Riyad check out Assim’s website.
Resolved: We should make every effort to get ownership of the www.myna.org name.
Action Items: Monem will inquire from Infocom as to the website. Riyad will come up with a design document for the website
Next we discussed the Strategic Planning committee and Asad gave an update. Monem said that he spoke with Dr. Rafeeq Beekun and Nabeel Kaukab and both are willing to help. Asad said that he is looking at some time in April to have the retreat, however, he will get in touch with Nabeel and Rafeeq to confer with them.
Action Item: Asad will get back to committee the results of his discussion with Dr. Beekun and Nabeel.
The Meeting was adjourned.

Assalamu Alaikum,
Hope all are well and have had a good weekend. I sent out the minutes last week, does anyone have any corrections? Some of you had action items that were do, and I have not heard from anyone!!!!!! Please update, Asad, Hana, and Riyad.
Also, I am enclosing the resume for Iman Salam who is applying for the Position of Program Director. Now before sending this out, I thought a lot about the possible conflict of interest. I came to the conclusion, after speaking to some of you, that we are in a position right now that we need someone. Iman has been insisting that I submit her name because she feels she can do the job. However, up until now, I have been hesitant because of obvious reasons. I do think she is qualified and would like everyone’s opinion.
The second person applying is Inayat Shahin. Naeem told me about her and sent her resume, but it was too education focused and so I have asked him to send another one with her activities. As soon as I get this, I will forward this on. Naeem, if you can send this before this Thursday, then we can talk about both this time.
For those that had action items (mentioned above), please give an update so we can come up with an agenda for this Thursday.
Take Care. Allah Hafiz
Salaams,
MYNA web site
The MYNA national site will consist of a national database linked to a web site that allows access for updates, viewing and changes of events and news. The database will include, among other things,
1. Youth information
2. Youth group information
3. All youth activities by location and date, both past (for history tracking) and future.
4. Youth group resources and training material
5. Speakers, advisors and counselors lists, as well as youth reviews and evaluations.
6. Documentation of all activities, including pictures, video and surveys
7. Facilities tracking (pricing, location, description, contacts, review, etc.)
8. Youth event registration
9. Volunteer registration for any activities
10. Other related information.
11. A store for the sale of MYNA items (tapes, CD's, shirts, etc.)
All of this would be accessed through the web site so that everyone could be informed immediately as to current events and information.
Peace,

Assalamu Alaikum, Hey guys and gals, just wanted to get an update from each of you.
Asad, anything on the retreat?
Riyad, anything on initial policy for reporting hierarchy of people hired?
Assim, I think you were going to make policy on who will be involved with retreat?
Let us know.
Take Care. Allah Hafiz
Assalamu Alaikum, just wanted to remind all of you that we have a conference call tonight at 9:00pm EST to interview the two candidates. I have told Inayet to join us at 9:15pm so that we can talk together. I was hoping we can talk to her for 30 minutes and then speak to Iman at 9:45pm.
The numbers are the same.
Take Care. Allah Hafiz.
Assalamu Alaikum,
Riyad, were you able to come up with some guidelines? Also, I was wondering if any of you were planning on going to the MYNA conference in MI on April 18 weekend. I spoke with Kashif, and he is cool with allowing one of us to speak. If non of us are going, maybe we can send either of Inayet or Iman. Thoughts?
Asad, any updates on dates? As for me, I have email and left a message for Afeefa Syeed to call me.

Assalamu Alaikum, Just wanted to give you guys and gals an update. First of all, how come I am the only one that emails the updates?
Anyway, I think I might have found someone else to join our Board. His name is Hasan Siddiqi and he lives in LA. He is good brother and has been involved with MYNA when he was young. He is from the Orange County Masjid and currently is running his own software company. Oh yeah, he is also the son of Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, but that alone, obviously, should not be the reason we select him. I think he has a lot of contacts in the West Coast, and he actually expressed interest.
Any thoughts?
Take Care. Allah Hafiz
