Voices of Muslims Launches Macon/Bibb County Chapter

The chapter development Initiative in major counties across Georgia is to expand community engagement and amplify Muslim American voices statewide

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, August 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Voices of Muslims (VoM), Georgia's leading coalition advocating for Muslim American communities, today announced significant progress in its Chapter Development Initiative, which was launched following the Board of Directors meeting in May 2025. The initiative is now taking concrete shape with the establishment of the Macon/Bibb County Chapter, demonstrating the success of VoM's grassroots expansion strategy.

The Chapter Development Initiative will establish local VoM chapters across Georgia, creating dedicated community hubs for advocacy, civic engagement, and interfaith dialogue. Each chapter will receive comprehensive resources, mentorship, and support to address local concerns while contributing to VoM's statewide mission.

"This chapter development initiative represents our commitment to meeting communities where they are and ensuring that every Muslim American voice in Georgia is heard and valued," said Executive Director Don Mahmood. "

VoM has assembled a dedicated Chapter Development Team to guide this expansion, combining experienced leadership with local community expertise. The team is committed to ensuring each chapter reflects the unique needs and characteristics of its local Muslim American community while maintaining alignment with VoM's core mission and values.

"As a member of the VoM Chapter Development/Establishment Team, I'm dedicated to supporting the growth and long-term sustainability of our local chapters," said Naushad Khan Ghilzai, VoM Secretary and Chapter Development Team member

The VoM Macon/Bibb County Chapter has demonstrated strong community impact, including organizing significant community turnout at the recent Muslim American Heritage Month Proclamation Ceremony, establishing a successful model for future chapter development.

"I aim to build bridges and strengthen communities through VoM platform, opening new horizons for collaboration and shared growth," said Abdul Hadi Afridi, President of Macon/Bibb county chapter. The Macon/Bibb county Chamber team includes
Dr. Muhammad Rehan – Patron-in-Chief
Mr. Abdul Hadi Afiridi – President
Ms. Aqsa Rehan – Vice President
Raja Arshad Khan – General Secretary
Ms. Hina Iqbal – Spokesperson
Mr. Saleem Sodagar – Treasurer

The Chapter Development Initiative aligns with VoM's commitment to statewide engagement, building on the geographic diversity represented on the organization's Board of Directors from communities throughout Georgia. Future chapters will focus on key metropolitan areas and emerging Muslim American communities, with systematic expansion planned through 2027.
