REGIONAL CONFERENCE
Dear Soror of the Sensational South Atlantic Region:
It is an honor and privilege to issue this Call to Conference and to invite you to the 25th
South Atlantic Regional Conference in the beautiful and historic city of Charleston,
South Carolina. The Sorors of Charleston Alumnae, North Charleston Alumnae,
Lambda Omicron and Nu Sigma are eager to display the city's southern hospitality and
southern charm.
We are elated to welcome the National President, Cynthia M.A. Butler McIntyre, her
executive committee and her executive board members to the final Regional Conference
of this cycle. During this Conference, we will be blessed with the theme address from
the National President as we are "A Sisterhood Called to Serve: Transforming Lives, Impacting
Communities,” during the opening ceremony.
The Conference programs and events are planned particularly to equip you with the
tools necessary for you to continue to serve your communities and conduct the business
of Delta. I charge you to engage in dialogue with national and regional leadership
members to enhance your knowledge and experience as they present information during
structured workshops or listening post. Capture the essence of the entire Conference.
After the workshops, take some time to fellowship with Sorors and friends and visit
Charleston's many tourist areas. Known for its white beaches, cultural art centers, historic
sites, such as the Market Place and various cuisines, is sure to be intriguing. The many
distinctive and wonderful opportunities await you during your stay in the "City by the Sea".
It is a melting pot of culture and charm.
Sorors, join us as we close the Wilson/Wise administration and usher in the new
leadership for the Sensational South Atlantic Region. Witness the historical election and
installation of the leadership that will serve us during our Centennial Celebration in
2013.
Thank you for the trust you placed in me to lead the Region over the past four years. It
has been my distinct honor and pleasure to serve and represent this Region. These years
will be forever treasured and cherished. I look forward to seeing you in Charleston,
South Carolina, August 4-7, 2011.
Sisterly and forever,

W
e have been busy planning the 25th South Atlantic Regional
Conference to be held at the Charleston Area Convention Center
August 4-7, 2011. After 13 years, we assure you that the hostess
chapters: Charleston Alumnae, North Charleston Alumnae, Lambda Omicron and

areas. After you attend plenary sessions and workshops, we hope you will visit some
of the historic sites, do a little shopping and sample some of Charleston's multiple
cuisines. We have planned community projects, other events and activities for you
and your families that will highlight the city's history and culture.
We are thrilled to have you join us in a city where we have such a rich history.
