Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority - Joins Forces with WLMS!

 

This past Tuesday evening at WLMS, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Iota Lambda Omega Chapter signed an official partnership agreement with the Howard County Public School System. In addition to the many contributions this organization already provides for our county, they have launched an Emerging Young Leaders Program here at WLMS. This program has been designed to empower 6th, 7th and 8th girls to learn the skills necessary to be leaders today and in the future. The sorority's theme this year is "Global leadership through timeless service."

It was a wonderful evening and I appreciate all of the AKA sorority sisters who were able to attend this event to support our student leaders and the representatives from Capital One Bank who are so generously providing the funding for this leadership program.  I also want to thank Board of Education Members Dr. Siddiqui and Ms. Giles for attending this ceremony and signing this exciting partnership agreement. Finally, I want to thank Ms. Jean Lewis for helping to develop this program and coordinating it at our school.

I look forward to seeing this program prosper here at our school. For more information about the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in Columbia, Maryland, visit http://iloaka.org/about_sororityHistory.cfmhttp://iloaka.org/about_sororityHistory.cfm
