“Mahdi Nanji has stood for JIY elections as chair with an exemplary team and individuals from the ISIJ community. I have personally had the opportunity to see Mahdi grow from a youth of our community to the leader he has stood to become today. I am confident that Mahdi and his team will bring in new, fresh and great ideas for the youth of our community and fully support him and his team to stand as the 2024-2025 term of JIY. Team Nanji reminds me of my last years as JIY chair, vice chair and associate of the committee - and I urge you all to support him and his team in this important election. Team Nanji for JIY 2024/2025 has my support. Vote for Team Nanji to make the tomorrow’s leaders, today! ”
“Mahdi stands out as a leader for our youth since he’s an extremely well-rounded individual. His involvement in spiritual development initiatives within the mosque as well in athletic and social events has allowed him to connect with diverse groups of youth within our jamaat and truly understands the needs of our community. We are confident that Team Nanji will implement initiatives which appeal to each of these groups of youth in order to strengthen their connection with God and one another and ultimately build a better and stronger future for our community. Join us in voting for Team Nanji as our next JIY Leaders.”
