Welcome to the Marvelous Mid-Atlantic Region!

As the 17th Mid-Atlantic Regional Director, I am honored, excited, and proud to represent and serve an extraordinary region, comprised of some the most diverse and dynamic women who are committed to the mission and legacy of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Our journey together continues, and I thank all of you for believing in, trusting in and affording me the opportunity to serve. Together, WE will continue to be Marvelous!

When it comes to service to all mankind, we have both a regional, as well as a global responsibility. “Global Leadership Through Timeless Service,” is the theme of our 2010-2014 programs envisioned by our International President, Attorney Carolyn House Stewart.  Our overarching mission and renewed vision will require every Alpha Kappa Alpha woman to work SMART.

Strategic, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Transferable (SMART) is a series of initiatives that when applied together, will lead to an enhanced impact and will allow the Mid-Atlantic Region to move progressively forward. Working SMART also will ensure an environment of successful service that will be sustainable through the years.

The Marvelous Mid-Atlantic Region has always had an impact in our various communities; however, the challenge is to achieve maximum impact. To do so will mean accepting a renewed vision of global service.   Working together, working SMART, will enhance our resources, our collaborations, and our operational excellence, leading to a deeper and more positive impact within our communities.

Thank you again for visiting our preliminary website.  In the coming weeks, we will unveil a more comprehensive, Mid-Atlantic Regional website, designed to be more interactive and user friendly to all.

Leaders know that they lead to serve, and I look forward to leading and serving the Marvelous Mid-Atlantic Region in a way that helps every soror feel a personal stake in our success. I ask that you look for creative ways to address the important challenges we face on a daily basis and be disciplined with the use of our resources.  United, we will make the Marvelous Mid-Atlantic Region #1 in positively transforming our communities and exhibiting “Global Leadership in Times of Timeless Service.”

Are you ready for the challenge? Fasten your seatbelt, for the journey continues, and the ride is shifting into high gear!

Sisterly Yours In Service,

Dr. Linda H. Gilliam, Mid-Atlantic Regional Director
