To My Dedicated and Devoted Sorors of the Dynamic Southern Region,

I greet you with excitement and exuberance as your re-elected 22nd Southern Regional Director! I am honored to continue to serve you, my sisters, and I sincerely thank you for your overwhelming vote and endorsement.

Our 42nd Southern Regional Conference in Huntsville, Alabama was a resounding success, with a final count of over 2,900 participants! Our red hats are off to Margaret Kelly, Conference Coordinator, and the hostess chapters of Huntsville Alumnae, Central North Alabama, Delta Delta, and Omicron Gamma. They hosted a conference that will always be remembered for its southern hospitality and red carpet treatment.

We look forward to implementing the national program initiatives featured at the conference, and we congratulate the newly elected officers of the Southern Region. Since this is the summer for the Regional Conference cycle, our complete 2009-2011 Southern Regional Leadership Team will be revealed by September 1.

It is our sincere desire that you will visit our website often to receive the updates of the new biennium as we provide them throughout the summer and after the Regional Conference cycle. For conference highlights, please see the News page of the website.

Sisterly yours in DST,

22nd Southern Regional Director

Greetings,

It is with a spirit of humbleness and great pleasure that I introduce myself as the 2009-2011 Southern Regional Representative. I am Courtney Winn, senior at Tuskegee University majoring in elementary education. I was initiated into Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated in March 2008 through the Gamma Tau Chapter.

As an elected servant of the Southern Region, I look forward to the work that is ahead of us, as this will be a collaborative endeavor. There is much to learn and even more to gain from working in Delta; however, in order for this to take place, true effort must be made. We (collegiate members in particular) must challenge ourselves to give our best at all times. In doing so, we should strive to be the epitome of what our Founders envisioned on our campus, the surrounding community, and our nation as a whole. In all that we do, we must have the mindset of excellence and the goal of united sisterhood, outstanding scholarship, and world/life changing service.

I look forward to working with and for you in the years to come. I am willing to do and give all that I can in whatever way that I can. As we move forward, let us unite in representing our region to the best of our ability, based on the calling that we have received and the principles for which we were founded.

Sisterly and sincerely yours,

21st Southern Regional Representative
