The Society, Incorporated, 18th National Conference
To our esteemed National President, Dr. Gwendolyn Lee and the entire membership of our beloved organization, We are thrilled and excited to have been selected as your National Conference Planning Team. Accepting the positions as conference chair and co-chair not only developed a team, but a bonding friendship. We started out on a different foot planning an in-person conference, with the support of the dynamic and fabulous ladies of the Greater Atlanta Chapter. Our plans included being in Midtown Atlanta enjoying the artistic décor of the W Hotel, then COVID-19 arrived. WOW!!! We had to quickly pivot and execute a virtual experience. With the support and direction of our National President we were introduced to a team of young African American ladies, The Collective, LLC who came to our rescue. You will have an experience of a lifetime navigating your way through this conference. Entering the conference lobby, visiting the various rooms such as The Memorial Gardens, The Hall of Honors, The Legacy Lounge, and
Johnathan Green’s Art Gallery to name a few. You will have time to shop with some fabulous vendors just before you log on for your workshops and plenary sessions. While you see and hear the presentations of young artists and scholarship recipients, you can sip your favorite beverage. We recommend a peach tea or a peach Bellini while dining on tea sandwiches, scones, and the like. Finally, the conference will close with a mini concert by two of our own Society Ladies, Chelsey Green and Dana Kristina-Joi Morgan. When challenges are placed before you the result, is the end reward. We met the CHALLENGE.
Enjoy this virtual experience.
