President’s Corner

Christina Sallee, National President

I am very pleased to let you know that we have received dates and locations for most of our Districts who will be having their Conventions this year. Please look in the Newsletter and online to see when your District Convention takes place, or if a District is having a Convention near you or somewhere you are visiting.

On the Board, we sometimes get questions as to why we have District Conventions, and why a National Representative is present, and I think this is the perfect time to remind everyone that the National Board members, just like you, are members of a lodge and District and we are very passionate about how we can continue serving and building the Sisterhood.

The District Conventions are meant to be a place for lodges to discuss and collaborate ideas, strengths and weaknesses. It is also a place for you to get together with longtime friends, make new ones, and to celebrate another year gone by, and to comfort each other remembering the people who are no longer here.

The reason a representative from National attends is for your benefit, so you have someone you know, or get to know, that can hear your concerns, update you on new tools that you can use, taking your information back to the Board, or give your Lodge/District recommendations as to what may have worked for another Lodge/District. We all have experienced that to keep a good connection with people, face-to-face meeting are often best, so I urge you all to go to your District Convention.

We have something that binds us and guides us in our mission and vision statements.
