A letter to our members

Dear Atlanta Chapter of WSSUNAA members and supporters,

It is an honor to serve as President of the Atlanta Chapter of the WSSUNAA again for the 2026–2028 term.

As we begin this new term, I am proud of what we accomplished together during the previous one. We exceeded our membership goal, growing to 78 paid members in 2024–2025 and maintaining 77 members in 2025–2026. Through the generosity of our members, sponsors and supporters, we raised more than $25,000 in scholarship funds to help students pursue their educational goals at Winston-Salem State University.

Building on that momentum, our focus for 2026–2028 is clear.

  • Expand and strengthen alumni engagement through networking opportunities, chapter activities and meaningful volunteer service.
  • Launch the Alumni Spotlight Program to recognize outstanding alumni and celebrate their professional, community and personal achievements.
  • Establish the Alumni Business DirectoryNow open
    Supporting alumni-owned businesses and fostering professional connections throughout our network. View the directory
  • Increase scholarship support through strategic fundraising, corporate partnerships and signature events that directly benefit students. See the 2027 golf tournament
  • Enhance our community impact by partnering with schools, nonprofits and local organizations that align with our commitment to service.
  • Strengthen student recruitment and mentorship by connecting prospective and current students with alumni who can provide guidance, encouragement and support.

Our chapter's success has always been driven by dedicated members who believe in the power of giving back. Together, we will continue creating opportunities for students, strengthening alumni connections and advancing the mission of WSSU.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our chapter. I look forward to working alongside each of you as we move forward with purpose, service and pride.

Linked Together in Unity. Serving Together with Purpose.

Sincerely,
Chandra Southern
President, Atlanta Chapter of WSSUNAA
