Greetings to the Blue & White Family!

On behalf of the Zeta Amicae Auxiliaries of the Great Lakes Region, our dedicated and hard working friends of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc, I take great pride in welcoming you to our 74th Great Lakes Regional Leadership Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. This wonderful city offers many adventures and events for all to enjoy.

This year’s conference is very special because the Zeta Amicae of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. of the Great Lakes Region is celebrating 60 years of invaluable community service. The Zeta Amicae Auxiliary was founded in 1948 under the esteem leadership of Luleila Walker Harrison, a member of Zeta Phi Zeta Sorority, Inc. The purpose of the Zeta Amicae is to help with Zetas activities and to promote the mission of the sorority. The Zeta Amicae invites you to join them in celebrating 60 years of service working hand in hand together with the Zetas. The theme of the Amicae 60th Anniversary Luncheon is Zeta Amicae: Honoring Our Past, Celebrating Our Present, and Embracing our Future.

Congratulations to our esteemed Great Lakes Regional Director, Soror Daisy L. Davis on all of her hard work and dedication she has put forth towards this regional conference to make it another great success as last year’s conference. As usual, she has been very busy working diligently in providing you with a productive and successful conference. A special welcome to our International Grand Basileus for keeping the momentum going towards our wonderful national program initiative, Z-HOPE. As always, remember those that could not be here and share the knowledge gained at this leadership conference with other members of your chapter and auxiliary.

Thank you to the host Zeta Chapter and everyone behind the scenes who has made this leadership conference possible. With all of the love and dedication that went into planning this conference, I know we all will have a successful conference and a great time in Indy. With such busy schedules, I truly appreciate everyone’s time and energy that went into this leadership conference.

In accordance with the theme of this year’s Amicae 60th Anniversary Luncheon, I look forward to sharing many more years working hand in hand with the Amicae in promoting the mission of the sorority. I hope everyone finds this conference to be productive, inspirational and fun. God Bless you all! Have a safe journey home.

Sisterly love,

Cynthia Dawkins-Terrell
