In 2010, the Alumni Chapter extended its benevolent reach to the families along the Route 1 corridor of Northern Virginia. This expansion laid the groundwork for the formal establishment of NOVA PGB in 2011, complete with its first committee operating as a pivotal satellite location. The expansion was more than just geographical; it was a magnet for collaboration and participation. Organizations like the Fairfax Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., the Zeta Chi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., and numerous active community members from the Alexandria/Fairfax County region joined the cause, enriching the initiative with their involvement.
