Summary
As a long standing member of KING DAVID CHAPTER #90, Order of the Eastern Star, Prince Hall Affiliated, I have been able to couple my passion for Community Service with my professional talents of working with money. This journey has allowed me the fortune of developing my leadership skills to the point of demonstration as the Worthy Matron (President) of my Chapter.
I would go on to use the talents and knowledge gained from this experience to lead King David Court, a subordinate Court of the Most Ancient Prince Hall Grand Court of the Heroines of Jericho for three years. These efforts combined provided me with the privilege to serve on two committees of Eureka Grand Chapter: the Charity committee, which focuses on the charitable causes of the Worthy Grand Matron and Worthy Grand Patron, and the Social Justice committee, where our main emphasis is to ensure everyone understands the importance of voting and that they are registered to vote to be included in the process.
My approach is one grounded in fairness, respect and transparency and firm belief that we are all here to help one another.
