New member of the Editorial Board

You may notice that the posting immediately below comes from a new member of this blog. Shakila Ahmad is the current community member of the Enquirer Editorial Board, a position we rotate among volunteers from our readership every six months or so.

Shakila is a business development manager for a local medical practice and serves as a board member and volunteer for a variety of community organizations including the National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ) Cincinnati, the Islamic Educational Council, the Mason City Schools Diversity Council and the Cincinnati Preservation Association. She is the outreach chair for the Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati and the founding member of the Muslim Mothers Against Violence community initiative.

In her role with the Editorial Board she is invited to participate in all of the board's interviews and deliberations. Her insights and candor are welcome additions to our discussions and to this blog.
