May 2023 marked our chapter’s 40th anniversary. It also was the end of the fiscal year and concluded the four year tenure of our past President, Janipher Robinson, Esq. As we transition to our new leadership team, with our Link Sister, Rita Henderson at the helm as president, we announce our official “State of the Chapter” report with highlights from the past four years. The pandemic presented new challenges for the chapter, however, we were committed to operational excellence, community service, and deepening our friendship bonds.
