2025 - 2027
President
2021 - 2025
Immediate Past President
I want to take a moment to speak from the heart. These next few months will be a time of transition and transformation. They will require patience—with one another and with the process—and a great measure of grace.
Behind the scenes, there is already so much being done to move our chapter forward. I, along with the Executive Committee, am committed to leading with purpose, humility, and love. Together, we aim to make this chapter That Chapter —
The chapter that leads with grace and humility,
That delivers transformation service,
And that fosters authentic and lasting bonds of friendship.
I share this not just as your Chapter President, but also as a mother, wife, dentist, business owner, active church member, and servant leader. I may send recommendations from time to time—not to critique or diminish anyone’s contributions, but to uplift, encourage, and guide us all into alignment with our mission and potential. Please know it is never my intent to demoralize. I want every member to feel empowered and confident in her role.
New roles have been and will be assigned—not because I doubt the capabilities of those who previously held them, but because I believe others have untapped potential waiting to be activated. This is how we grow. This is how we build.
Over the next two years, we will embody transformational leadership —the kind that listens deeply, serves meaningfully, and strengthens the bonds of sisterhood within our chapter, across sister chapters, and even internationally through our upcoming initiative in the Bahamas.
But I cannot do this alone. I will need each and every one of you.
Allow me to acknowledge some of the impactful work already taking place:
Link Maria is working faithfully to strengthen our bonds of friendship— within the chapter, between generations, and across sister chapters.
Link Chanda is developing transformational programs. I encourage you to share your ideas with her—initiatives you believe could uplift our community and reflect our shared mission.
Links Marcella and Cindy, in their secretarial roles, are working hard to create innovative ways to keep our members informed and engaged.
Links Doris, Maureen, and I are exploring ways to reduce spending while also pursuing outside funding through grants and sponsorships. If you have expertise or interest in this area, we welcome your involvement.
Link Kamiti, though currently away, is preparing Mind, Body, and Spirit initiatives, including a Prayer Breakfast that speaks to the spiritual needs of both our chapter and our broader community.
Link Janice Bass, our Chapter Archivist, is capturing our rich history as we approach our Ten-Year Anniversary. She is working with our Communications Team to launch a YouTube page featuring interviews with our organizer, charter members, past and current presidents, and active members.
This is a pivotal time in our chapter’s story.
My only request is this: keep me informed. I want to be involved. If you need me—call, email, or text. If I don’t answer right away, just give me a moment. I promise I’ll return to you. We are in this together.
Let’s move forward —
With patience,
With grace,
With vision,
And with each other.
May 23, 2021. The newly elected officers bid adieu to five alumnae members from service to support roles while adding five newly inducted links to the fold. I wish to acknowledge and honor the strong leadership that brought us from an interest group, through the chartering process, and to a viable chapter that has established its place in our community.
As we press forward, each new officer vows to strengthen the pillars of friendship and service. We are proud of the virtual community service programs that were implemented throughout the global pandemic and approach the upcoming service year with the resiliency of our ancestors. Until we can assemble in friendship and service, we will continue to collaborate on quality interactions to transform our service area.
There is much work to do, but we are up to the challenge. We will navigate the changes before us with grace and dignity because we are the personification of womanhood. Our genuine concern for one another and the community we live and play compels us to continue the journey that began on November 4, 2017.
