Dear WSSU Atlanta Alumni Chapter Members and Supporters,
I am honored to serve as your president for the 2024-2026 term. As we embark on this journey together, I would like to outline a few key goals and strategies to ensure a prosperous and impactful tenure for our chapter. Membership Growth Let's grow our chapter to at least 75 active and engaged members by the end of the 2026 term. We can achieve this by launching a membership drive campaign with outreach through social media, email, and alumni networks. Additionally, we'll implement monthly Alumni Spotlights, create an Alumni Business Directory, and publish a regular newsletter. Offering incentives for new members and referrals from current members, as well as hosting membership engagement and networking mixers, will also help attract and retain members. Scholarship Fund Growth: We aim to grow our scholarship fund to at least $15,000 by organizing fundraisers such as charity galas, events, auctions, and online crowdfunding campaigns. We will seek donations and sponsorships from local businesses and alumni and promote the scholarship fund through various marketing channels to raise awareness and attract contributions. Community Presence: We need to enhance the chapter's presence in the community to focus on our motto of serving. We can achieve this by building relationships and increasing our visibility, establishing partnerships with local schools, businesses, and community organizations, and utilizing social media and local media to highlight the chapter's activities and impact. Student Recruitment: We can enhance our efforts to recruit new students to attend WSSU by organizing and attending college fairs and informational sessions at high schools and community centers. Developing mentorship programs that connect current students and alumni, and providing resources and support for prospective students throughout the application process will also be key strategies. These are just a few highlights of the goals I have set forth. With your help and support, we can make a significant impact on our legacy and live up to our Association motto, "Linked Together in Unity. Serving Together with Purpose." Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the WSSU Atlanta Alumni Chapter. Together, we will achieve great things. Sincerely, Chandra Southern President, WSSU Atlanta Alumni Chapter Class of 1994’ |
