Greetings

FROM OUR REGIONAL DIRECTOR

It is my pleasure to welcome each of you to this virtual 2025 International Region Atlantic and Pacific Cluster Conference! This is a special time of the year when we have the opportunity to come together and get inspired, invested and involved so that we can initiate “next level” service, sisterhood and AKA business for the coming months.

Our theme this year is “Soaring Higher through Global Ties.” Sorors, we can do a little alone, but we can do more together. Our global ties are what helps us to soar. As women, we want to see women uplifted and strengthened which we can do through our “Soaring to Greater Heights of Service & Sisterhood” program initiatives under our Supreme Basileus Soror Danette Anthony Reed.

This Cluster Conference will include everything from regional updates to in-depth presentations to interactive workshops. It is also an opportunity for us to be united across borders, oceans and shores. Together we will partake in an informative and high-quality experience, including hearing special remarks from several of our sorority leaders.

Meanwhile, I must thank our Atlantic Cluster Coordinator Soror Lisa Mitchell-Harris, Pacific Cluster Coordinator Soror Clarine Simpson, Mu Gamma Omega Chapter Basileus Soror Desiree T. Ross, Cluster Conference Chairman Soror Elouise Brown-Moe, and all of the sorors of Mu Gamma Omega Chapter.

Sorors, I encourage you to take full advantage of all of the information and presentations, ask questions, take notes, and be fully engaged. Get ready to “soar higher.”

In Sisterhood and Service,

Soror Carrie J. Clark SOROR CARRIE J. CLARK International Regional Director

Speaker Bio continued ...

Viewed as a “go-to” professional for development of large-scale multimillion dollar residential, commercial, and industrial projects, Soror Jacks is frequently sought after to educate citizens and neighborhoods on community engagement and understanding the impact of development on communities. She has been an instrumental player in many of the City of Atlanta’s major development projects, including the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, However, she is most proud of her involvement in two of the city’s most transformative development projects. These projects include redevelopment of a 40-acre undeveloped area in downtown Atlanta: The Gulch, to be transformed into 12-15 new city blocks of new infrastructure, roads, sidewalks, open space and parks and the creation of development regulations for the sale of the Turner Field Stadium. This transaction set the groundwork for the redevelopment of this massive facility and surrounding area into a major commercial, institutional, and residential development.

The first female African American to be appointed as the City’s Zoning Administrator, Soror Jacks established a pathway for clear interpretation of the city’s complex development regulations. She is that professional that laid the groundwork and executed the first ever “quick-fixes” to the City of Atlanta’s over thirty-year old Zoning Ordinance. As a result of her foresight and forward thinking, the Department developed a plan to update the outdated Zoning Ordinance to align it with current development trends and planning principles.

Soror Jacks is a graduate of Howard University (B.A.) and Clark Atlanta University (M.P.A.) and a member of Saint Philip AME Church. She is married to Bernard Ricardo Jacks and they are the parents of Ricardo Wilson Jacks. She is most proud to be called “Mimi” by her granddaughterParker Leigh Jacks.

Ingenious ATLANTIC & PACIFIC VIRTUAL CLUSTER I acknowledge with great appreciation,

The International Regional Director, Carrie J. Clark, for appointing me as the Atlantic Cluster Coordinator to the INGENIOUS International Region. I committed to this amazing journey with Madam Carrie J. Clark to work towards her mission to elevate the region in the Soaring Administration. It is an honor to serve alongside you in the day-to-day operation of our chapters in the Atlantic Cluster. Under your supervision, you allowed me to lead and direct the Atlantic chapters which resulted in an increase in chapter engagement and effective sisterly connections.

You make dreams come true and mine came true because of you. I hope I have made you proud!

To the hardworking, assiduous, committed, most amazing Chapter Basilei and Graduate Advisors of the Atlantic Cluster, you ladies exemplify the true leadership and strength that makes our sisterhood dominant and forcible in your local communities. I am blessed to have worked with these amazing Basilei and Graduate Advisors of the Atlantic Cluster – Sorors Margo Adderley, Yvonne Pearson, Julice Holder, Tekea Saunders, Sherida DuBose Parsons, Briddie Joyner Alstrom, Chanice Jarvis, Talisa Griffith-Simmonds, Quianna Christian, Anise Hodge, Marshell Sasha Bain, E’Thegra Symonette, Deyzha Todman, Da’Shawn “Dee” Doars, Renee Rawlins, Phylicia Ferguson, Desiree T. Ross, Elva Davis, Annae Robinson, Carla Bastian-Knight, Sasha Sutherland-Rolle, Lineek Williams, Necheeka Trott, Keiva L. Bland, Monique Taylor-Yee Shui, Xiomara Gordon-Mahon, and Terah Sweeting. The Atlantic Cluster is better and stronger because of your leadership, and I could not have done a better job in the Atlantic Cluster without your collaboration, dedication, and tireless efforts to ensure your chapters are ALWAYS represented in the International Region.

To Pi Upsilon Omega (Freeport, Grand Bahama); Sigma Xi Omega (Bermuda); and Mu Gamma Omega (St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands), thank you for hosting the cluster conferences in the region to allow members to learn, grow and Soar in their chapters, region, and the sorority. Your service means a lot to the region.

To my fellow Cluster Coordinator, Soror Clarine Simpson, you are beyond what I could have imagined as a colleague to serve on this journey with me as cluster coordinators. We have had many moments with Madam Regional Director that are just more memorable than words can say.

Every moment is memorable to me. THIS IS IT, my sister! I am so happy to have experienced this journey with you. All I can simply say is thank you. We came, we listened, we conquered. I am forever grateful for your dynamic leadership and a job well done.

My sorors, undergraduate, graduate, general, and Interest Group members in the International Region, keep soaring and serving! We got this!

My dear Sorors of the Ingenious International Regional, Time flies when you’re having fun, and my time as the Pacific Cluster Coordinator has certainly gone by quickly. I recall, as if it were yesterday, receiving a call from Soror Carrie J. Clark whom I had the distinct honor to interact with briefly in Orlando at Boule, asking me to be the Pacific Cluster Coordinator. I asked her to give me some time to think about it. A four-year appointment? Would this AKA education be like high school or college? Was I up to that level of commitment? She didn’t give me much time to think, Cluster 2022 was happening in less than two weeks and, well, there I was. On Zoom.

Sorors, this experience in Alpha Kappa Alpha’s effective, elevated and educational operations has enlightened, enthused and energized me like I could never have imagined. I have learned immensely from my weekly (and sometimes daily) interactions with the Basilei of the Pacific Cluster to resolve issues, at all hours of the night, day and morning. Coordinating with Alpha Alpha Omega Omega and Omega Theta Omega chapters to host hybrid Cluster conferences in Lagos and Dubai, and guiding my chapter, Eta Beta Omega in Monrovia, Liberia as we hosted the first ever Region-wide Service Project was fulfilling. Sorors in these chapters gave of their time, connections, finances and heart to execute unforgettable experiences for sorors traveling to Africa and the Middle East. All this was possible because of the leadership of a Regional Director whose love for Alpha Kappa Alpha and the Ingenious International Region is boundless and borderless.

To my sister, partner and friend, Soror Lisa Mitchell-Harris, there are few words I can find to truly define working with you. You are an entire vibe. The ying to my yang, the heat to my cool, the sassy to my structure and I am blessed that we have been able to balance each other so well as we elevated the position of Cluster Coordinator in the region. I love you dearly.

As we close this Cluster Series, I want to thank Team Elevation for the professional pride they put into every event we host as a region. Whether it is a Regional Conference or a Regional Chat, the effort, creativity and attention to detail that happens behind the scenes and across time zones speaks to the dedication to and love for our Region. You are appreciated Sorors.

Madam Regional Director, thank you for this opportunity to learn, stretch, soar and serve.
