We assemble here as sorors with a responsibility to continue Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority’s one hundred seven years of excellence in public service. In this spirit, we come together to learn how to better promote academic achievement, healthy relationships among college and professional women and public service in the global community. Therefore, I encourage undergraduate and graduate chapters to join forces to share best practices and creative strategies for implementing the Supreme Basileus Soror Dorothy Buckhanan Wilson’s international program, “Launching New Dimensions of Service.” I applaud the host chapters and sorors of the Northern Western Virginia Cluster for their stellar work in planning the series of workshops, meetings, and luncheons to offer you a productive and enjoyable experience. In fact, the events will conclude with an empowering Ecumenical Service featuring Grammy Award winning singer Karen Clark-­‐Sheard. This conference represents the culmination of our region’s accomplishments, and also signifies an important moment to inspire a stronger commitment to excellence in sisterhood and supreme service. As we conduct the business of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, let us work together to elevate our region toward greater heights by contributing our talents; for we all have a role to play together as we move toward the shining light of tomorrow. I look forward to working with you on our journey to fulfill my motto, “To Lead Is To Serve!” Enjoy the Conference…We’re On the Move!

Box 250841 Milwaukee, WI 53225 December 11, 2014 Soror Joyce Henderson Mid-Atlantic Regional Director 5911 Edsall Road #411 Alexandria, VA 22304 Greetings Sorors! Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® is at the halfway mark of our inaugural year of Launching New Dimensions of Service! Sorors have embraced the new theme by focusing on community outreach and our mission of sisterhood and service to all mankind. This April, The Marvelous Mid-Atlantic Region will host its 62nd Regional Conference in Richmond, VA -- this will also be the first regional conference led by your newly installed Mid-Atlantic Regional Director. With Regional Director, Soror Joyce Henderson at the helm, sorors from 124 chapters throughout Virginia and North Carolina will be asked to absorb the information and training provided at the regional conference to ensure a successful program year in their local chapters. The following items are key points all sorors should be focused on in preparation for the conference: Attendance is a must! Being fully engaged regional conference attendees will prepare sorors to effectively run their chapters, and will allow them to develop professionally and personally as leaders within the organization and in their community. This venue allows us to share best practices in planning our service programs. Many chapters host the same events. However, they may execute them differently or more effectively. We will have an opportunity to delve into how to best promote our programs through outreach, stakeholder engagement and efficient utilization of our resources. All sorors have voices and are valued, whether we are Undergraduate or Graduate members. We have committed ourselves to our great sisterhood, and in attending regional conferences, all generations have the ability to come together, learn from one another, and celebrate Alpha Kappa Alpha. We must always remember that her perpetuity exists because of our membership and sisterly engagement with one another. I look forward to seeing you at the upcoming conference, as we collectively work to enhance our sorority knowledge, empower one another as you converge in Richmond, and provide service to all mankind! Sisterly yours, Soror Dorothy Buckhanan Wilson Soror Dorothy Buckhanan Wilson Supreme Basileus 3 y It is an honor and pleasure to invite you to attend the 62nd Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference on behalf of the sorors of the Northern Western Virginia Cluster. We are excited to host the Conference in the home cluster of our Regional Director, Soror Joyce Henderson. Sorors, we are on the move towards “Launching New Dimensions of Service.” Join us in Richmond to fellowship with your sorors from across the region as we continue to learn about Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. The sorors of the Northern Western Virginia Cluster have been working very hard to make this Conference an enjoyable, fresh, and exciting experience for all in attendance. Richmond is located in the heart of Virginia and you will feel the flavor of all of the cities of the Northern Western Virginia Cluster while you’re there. I would like to thank Madam Regional Director, Soror Joyce Henderson, for allowing me to serve as the Chairman of this Conference. It has been an awesome experience to work with the sorors in the Northern Western Virginia Cluster. A very special “thank you” to Soror Tracey D.

I want to welcome all of my sisters to The Commonwealth of Virginia and its capital, RICHMOND….The River City!!! From the shorelines of the James River and Manchester Docks in Shockhoe Bottom, where slaves were upon auction blocks, to the exquisite skyline which includes museums, banks, monuments and the post-civil war predominantly African-American neighborhood, Jackson Ward, the Northern Western Virginia Cluster welcomes you. The sorors of this Cluster are letting” nothing stand in our way,” in order to make this Regional Conference, with a Northern Virginia City flavor, one of the most exciting events this century. As sorors and our “sister’s keeper,” we all set personal standards that are high and seek lofty challenges which mandate excellence in everything we do for our illustrious organization, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.® And just as three great Richmond natives, Maggie L. Walker, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and Arthur Ashe recreated our culture and history, we embrace the vision to “move ahead” and focus upon unchartered territories. The “movers and shakers” of this Conference rest within the Operations team, as our duties and responsibilities focus upon the decorative sights of each event, technologically sound presentations, transportation ease, the One Million Backpacks service project, courtesies and hospitality, as well a well-publicized conference from Richmond to the cities to our North. One of the highlights of this conference is the Grand Opening of the Golden Café...a place for quiet, rest and sisterly conversations with our precious Golden Sorors. Get excited, Sorors, as this conference will boast in excess of 50 vendors for your shopping pleasure and in excess of 2000 of your “gorgeous” sisters! “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now,” Sorors….WE ARE ON THE MOVE…Together Towards Tomorrow!

When? How? Create your chapter’s strategic planning roadmap with a chapter mission, vision and goals for successful programs and activities. Develop your action plan and keep asking the questions where are we now and where do we want to go? Participants in this workshop will review the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority 2010-2020 Strategic Plan and use the sorority’s goals, objectives and priorities as the foundation for the chapter’s strategic plan. Every chapter is encouraged to have a representative participate in this workshop. So You Want to Run For Office The workshop will familiarize the sorors with the training requirements and the candidate certification process for the various positions. Honorary Members and Awards Workshop 101: “How Will You Know? Designed for Chapter Basilei, Anti-Basilei and/or Chapter Awards Committee Chairmen, this workshop will take the mystery out of how honorary members are selected and how award recipients are chosen. Sorors will receive an overview of criteria per our Constitution and Bylaws and Manual of Standard Procedure; will be informed of the process and procedures for nominations; will know where and how to access forms; and will be provided opportunities for questions and answers for this prestigious chapter privilege. BE IN THE KNOW! Building Basics 201: Facilities Management Now that the property has been purchased, how is it maintained? As with any property purchase, preventative maintenance is crucial to property sustainability. This workshop is designed for chapters that own property or whose foundations own property. Topics to be covered include professional property management, preventative maintenance, and capital improvement plans.
