As we move toward more efficient and smarter ways of working, we will engage our Executive Officers in more training. This will be designed to ensure that we:
Strengthen our public image through strong Service Projects and be respectful of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority’s brand which is known and recognized internationally.
Commit to our organizations mission and implement a Strategic Plan
Projects that are the heart of the vitality and sustainability of our organization I eagerly view the New Year as a time for change, for fresh vision and for new accomplishments. To make the most of these opportunities, we need creative, innovative and energetic minds and willing hands. Your input is needed; you are needed. Please resolve in 2017 to communicate your ideas and needs as well as to continue to volunteer your available time and energy to Lambda Tau Omega Chapter. Join us for an exciting and productive year.
