AMCC Board

My name is Mahwash Mahmood. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Information Science from University of Florida. I own and manage a web design and development business called Netphiles.  I am a mother to four beautiful children and wife to a loving & supportive husband.  I love to cook, play tennis and spend time with family.

As a President of the company, I have great project management experience in taking a vision and turning it into a reality. I help my employees extend their thinking with a coherent strategy and guide them in decision making process that results in project completions and satisfied clients.
In addition, I have recently served as Girl Scout of USA Troop Co-Leader with responsibility of spearheading troop’s various activities, large scale events and administrating the website portal for tracking cookie sales.

I also ran a Weekend Islamic school in Tallahassee for 10 years and am currently serving as a Principal for Peace Academy at AMCC.
I believe my time spent at serving AMCC has been to be a dedicated and consistent volunteer. I always lead by example, with decisive decisions, direct and open communication, balanced and amicable nature to accomplish tasks on hand. Currently, serving my second term on AMCC Board as Vice Chairperson, I am overseeing the operations and managing tasks for AMCC various committees.  We are ALL here serving for the sake of one and only – to seek refuge in guidance of Allah and his creations.

My name is Hope Ali and I was born and raised in New York. I am a Registered Nurse and received my master’s degree in Healthcare Leadership and Management from The George Washington University. I have worked in a variety of settings including critical care, pediatrics mental health. 

I moved to Florida with my husband and three children in 2019. It wasn’t long after our move that we discovered AMCC. Since that time, AMCC has been like a second home and we are thrilled to grow with AMCC for years to come. I have been teaching 2nd and 3rd grade Islamic Studies and Life Skills at the Peace Academy.

I volunteer as the Outreach Director for AMSS Clinic and have had the pleasure of working alongside community partners to best serve our community. 

A recent initiative that I have taken on is leading the Women’s Tea Virtual Event here at AMCC. This was created to address the needs of women in our community. This is a time for understanding and support as we join together in sisterhood. 

I am dedicated to serving on the AMCC board to continue the future vision of AMCC to be bright and inclusive. We are all family Alhamdulillah.

My name is Mohammed Ziaur Rahman.  My family and friends call me Zahed.  First and foremost, I am a son, a brother, a husband, a father, and a friend.  Then, I am a Registered Nurse by trade for 10 years with almost all in Critical Care.  Prior to that I have held many positions within the healthcare sector from an ED Tech to working in EMS for a state run 911 organization.

​I moved with my family to Florida from New Jersey 2014.  One month after moving to Florida, I experienced Ramadhan at AMCC and have never left.  Since making AMCC my home, I was asked to volunteer many tasks, from clean-up, security, to being a Nurse.  I am one of the few remaining original volunteering staff members of the AMSS (AMCC free clinic) which started 2017.

​My current responsibilities on the Board of Directors include leading the Building Maintenance/Security committee, and Food pantry/outreach committee.  Building maintenance includes all management, repair, and maintenance for all properties owned by AMCC. Food pantry/outreach deals with providing free nutritious foods to poor communities. We have often done an on-site drop off but sometimes we will do a drive thru pick-up at AMCC.

It is an absolute privilege and joy to be able to serve under the umbrella of Islam. If you are interested in joining a fun and motivated group of individuals, feel free to contact me.
