Sustaining your not-for-profit is one of the four core programs of the Financial Empowerment Initiative (thefei.ca). They hold webinars every Tuesday. They had Alhaji Ahmad Sanni on the webinar this week. Ahmad Sanni is a seasoned IT professional with an impressive track record spanning over three decades. Originally from Nigeria, Africa, Ahmad and his family embarked on a journey to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in 2007, eventually making the picturesque city of St. Albert their cherished home in 2009. With a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and a natural affinity for socializing, Ahmad's career in IT flourished. He contributed significantly to the IT landscape as a Project Manager and Application Support Operations Manager with ATCO I-Tek, the IT arm of ATCO Group, from 2009 to 2014. Following Wipro's acquisition of the company, he continued his dedicated service, supporting ATCO Group IT until 2021 when he embarked on a new venture. Ahmad established his own IT service management company, committed to delivering top-notch IT services to Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs), encompassing both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. In addition, his company provides valuable training and mentorship in various facets of IT, including Project Management, helping individuals attain essential certifications. Beyond his professional pursuits, Ahmad finds joy in exploring the world with his family, particularly relishing trips to historical sites and heritage locations. His wanderlust has taken him and his family to numerous destinations in Central and Western Canada and through 25 U.S. states via road trips. Ahmad's passion for community involvement shines through his volunteer work. He is dedicated to assisting others in their journey to success and believes firmly in exchanging knowledge and learning from one another. Ahmad has previously shared his expertise by delivering an "Introduction to Project Management" course through the Saint Albert Further Education. In addition, Ahmad has held influential roles within various community organizations. He served as the inaugural Vice-President of the Africans and African Descendants Friendship Club of St. Albert, a community group dedicated to showcasing African cultures and traditions while promoting integration and value addition within the city's diverse community. He is an active member of the Nigeria Canadian Association of Edmonton (NCAE) and currently holds the position of Chairman of the Association's Electoral Committee. Furthermore, Ahmad is the Vice Chairman of the Art and Heritage Foundation of St. Albert Board of Directors, having joined the board in 2020 and now serving his second term. He also serves on the Board of St. Albert and District Further Education. When he's not immersed in his professional or community commitments, Ahmad treasures quality time with his family, relishes the opportunity to mentor others, indulges in reading, and enthusiastically follows sports, including soccer, basketball, and, of course, hockey (Go Oilers!!!).
