What is the structure of MANA?
MANA’s governing body is the Majlis ash-Shura (Shura), which sets policy and agenda. The Shura elects an Amir, Deputy Amir, and Diwan (Executive Committee), which implements the policies and agenda set by the Shura. A General Secretary is appointed by the Shura to oversee the administrative functioning of MANA under the direction of the Amir. A Leadership Council constitutes basically the general body of MANA. The Leadership Council includes representatives of all member masjids/organizations and prominent Muslim individuals who are appointed by the Leadership Council. Shura members have terms of three years, which are staggered. Positions on the Shura are elected by the remaining members of the Shura.
