Florida Alpha Delta Kappa Vol 1 June 2022
President's Message
Welcome to the beginning of the 2022 - 2024 biennium. Our major goal for the biennium is to build relationships. We have been isolated these past two years. Let's take the opportunities this biennium to renew relationships with friends we have not seen in a while, and build new relationships with new sisters in our chapter, sisters in our district, in our state, in our Gulf Region, and beyond. To build these relationships we need to be present at our chapter meetings, district meetings, and state leadership meetings. Let's take the opportunity this summer to begin the renewal of these relationships. One way to do this could be having a chapter gathering for lunch, at the beach, or in a park.
Have you registered for the Gulf Region Conference? This event is full of fun, food, and friendship. There are many workshops to enhance our professional, personal, and leadership interests. Late registration is due June 12. I hope to see many Florida sisters in Jacksonville, July 10 - 13.
