I am humbled and honored to serve as the 6th President of the Frederick County (MD) Alumnae Chapter (FCAC), Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. My commitment to this phenomenal organization spans over years of service and support to local, regional, and national initiatives. I am pleased to build upon the foundation of the sixteen members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., who recognized their common bond and commitment to charter a chapter in Frederick, MD on April 17, 2004. Since its chartering, FCAC has been a change agent throughout Frederick County by offering quality programs and services to local citizens.
