Greetings

FROM OUR INTERNATIONAL REGIONAL DIRECTOR

To My Sorors of the Atlantic and Pacific Clusters,

After a mid-year break, we are ready to reset, renew, and resume the business of Alpha Kappa Alpha.

I am so excited that the 2025 Cluster Conference season is almost here. This year, we will once again join together both clusters — Atlantic Cluster and Pacific Cluster for a virtual conference under the theme “Soaring Higher through Global Ties” .

This will be a full and informative conference as we share the outcomes of our service projects and share updates on our International Region Programs, Connection and Social Action, Nominating and more.

Our host chapter Mu Gamma Omega in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands has been working hard to deliver an amazing experience. I am grateful to Chapter Basileus Soror Desiree T. Ross, Cluster Conference Chairman Soror Elouise Brown-Moe, Atlantic Cluster Coordinator, Soror Lisa Mitchell-Harris and Pacific Cluster, Coordinator Soror Clarine Simpson.

Registration is now open! Make sure you join us on Saturday, November 15, 2025. I can’t wait to see how we strengthen our global ties.

In Sisterhood & Service,

Soror Carrie J Clark
