On behalf of the Southwest Region of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Incorporated I am excited to welcome you to the 54th Annual Meeting and Education Conference hosted by the Iota Eta Chapter of Chi Eta Phi Sorority, Incorporated. This year’s conference will be taking place in Colorado Springs, Colorado home of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center. Our focus this year is advancing health equity through sustainable change, and I am certain that our educational offerings will be both informative and inspiring.

We encourage you to come early and stay late so that you can explore the many incredible natural and historical attractions and shopping that Colorado Springs has to offer.
This is the first in-person regional conference for the Southwest Region since the Covid-19 pandemic started and I can’t begin to express how excited I am to be back in-person.
