The Board of Directors of Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston (IM) is delighted to announce the selection of Sheroo Mukhtiar as the organization’s next President and Chief Executive Officer. Sheroo will assume her new role in early April, bringing over 30 years of nonprofit leadership experience and a proven track record of transformational impact.

Sheroo joins IM after seven successful years as the CEO of SERJobs, a nonprofit focused on helping individuals from low-income communities transform their lives through education, training, employment, and financial empowerment services.

In her role there, Sheroo led efforts to sustain operations during the pandemic, expand services, strengthen community partnerships, and enhance opportunities for underserved individuals across Greater Houston. Her leadership style, strategic vision, and unwavering commitment to community empowerment make her the ideal leader to guide IM into its next chapter.

Sheroo expressed her enthusiasm for this new role, stating: “I am honored to join Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston and deeply inspired by its mission to bring people of all faiths together to serve our community. IM’s work in promoting interfaith dialogue, supporting members of the refugee community, providing Meals on Wheels and engaging volunteers across sectors, is a testament to the power of compassion and collaboration. I look forward to building on the strong foundation of this incredible organization and working alongside the dedicated team of staff and board, to further its impact.”

As Sheroo steps into this position, she will work closely with the Board of Directors, staff, and community partners to ensure the continued success and growth of IM’s vital programs and initiatives. Her leadership will undoubtedly strengthen IM’s mission of serving vulnerable populations and communities in need across Greater Houston and Galveston County.

Until Sheroo joins us, Henry Florsheim will serve as Interim CEO and Saied Alavi will serve as Board Chair.

Please join us in welcoming Sheroo Mukhtiar to Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston! We are excited about the future under her guidance and look forward to the meaningful work ahead.
