Adrienne Pope Kelly Washington of Huntsville serves as the 24th Director of the South Eastern Region and Tracey Morant Adams of Birmingham serves as Chair of the 79th South Eastern Regional Conference.

Terry, a founding member of the sorority who taught at Alabama A&M University. The event is being sponsored by Banks Finley White & Co., Coca-Cola Bottling Company and Sam’s Club and will feature informational booths from community organizations and agencies such as the Sickle Cell Association of Central Alabama, American Heart Association and American Diabetes.
