 FInal Message from the Outgoing President
My two year term as president of our chapter has come to a close. I leave with a sense of accomplishment of the goals I set out to accomplish, but also with a sense of “loose ends” of those tasks left to be done. Time truly does fly when you create and accomplish goals with those who share the same vision.
During this year I witnessed and experienced a renewal of excitement in the organization. Many of you responded to the challenges I placed before you to step up and say “I will do it’! I ask each of you to rededicate yourselves today to the mission and goals of this organization.
I continue to be impressed with the excitement and dedication each class of new members brings to the organization. The diversity in age and professional experience only makes us stronger as an organization. I have developed and nurtured friendships and mentor relationships that I know will last a life time.
We feel a strong sense of pride as we see one of our chapter founders and past president, Dee Strum perfectly positioned to assume the role as national president of this fine organization. We must support her as she reshapes the vision and direction of this organization on both the national and local levels. What an exciting time! We have also positioned ourselves to be the host chapter for the 2011 or 2013 national biennial conference. These challenges and opportunities exemplify the statement that the road to leadership in the National Coalition of 100 Black Women starts right here in Indianapolis.
Thank you for allowing me to serve in this leadership role. As I pass on the torch to our new president, let us stand behind her, beside her and lift her up to continue the work before us.
Best regards,
Betty Gilliam
