Strengthen Our Sisterhood
Alpha Kappa Alpha International President Danette Anthony Reed
Service and sisterhood have
been the cornerstone of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® since 1908. With the theme, Soaring to Greater
Heights of Service and Sisterhood, the 2022-2026 administration seeks to build upon Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority’s rich
legacy of service by galvanizing our sisterhood of more than 120,000 active members to lead on the front lines of change,
education, and advocacy.
This administration has six initiatives. Strengthen Our Sisterhood will serve as
the administration’s “Foundation Initiative” as we strengthen our bonds to support our service mission.
The
remaining five initiatives will serve as the “Program Initiatives” which include:
Program
Initiative I: Empower Our Families
Alpha
Kappa Alpha Sorority has a strong history of supporting and servicing families, for we understand a healthy family is the
foundation of a healthy community.
We will take a multi-generational approach to fortify families within our communities
by addressing child hunger and promoting positive youth development and leadership, mental well-being, and senior life.
