Greetings Sorors,
It is with great pride and pleasure that I greet you in
the name of this great Sisterhood! As I take this
moment to express my gratitude to the Southern Region,
and to all of my sisters of Iota Phi Lambda Sorority,
much satisfaction is taken in knowing that we stand as a
collective group, bold, determined and beautiful! We
are making positive changes within our communities
and in the lives of many who observe Iota’s work. Much
has been accomplished during the past years. We are
making a difference! I commend each and every member of
the Southern Region for their persistence and
perseverance. Sorors, I applaud you for your dedication,
devotion and commitment to make the best Sorority even
better!
The dynamic Southern Region will continue to work and
promote the business aspect of Iota. Recapturing the
visions of our Founders remains the key focus within our
existence.
Accolades are extended to Assistant Regional Director,
Patricia Griffin, Regional Secretary, Kemberli
Stephenson, Regional Treasurer, Bessie Jowers and
Regional Journalist, Didi Boynton for their untiring
devotion to Iota Phi Lambda and the Southern Region.
Special thanks to Soror Ivis Richardson for services
rendered during her two-year tenure. Her dedicated
spirit will be missed.
Thanks to all who attended the 73rd Southern Regional
Conference. The region was at its “best!” We were well
represented. This could not have happened if it wasn’t
for the magnificent teamwork displayed by all. We must
not quit now, we have much work to do in order to
maintain our status. We are proud of all of you! Let
us remain strong, dedication and most of all let our
“Sisterly Love” shine as we work together in unity and
love! Remember, “Together we stand, divided we fall.”
Let’s stand together and make this Sorority the best of
all!
Sisterly,
Barbara H. Carter, Southern Regional Director
