Great Lakes Regional Director
Welcome to the Website of the Great, Great Lakes Region, Alpha Kappa Alpha SororityIncorporated
It is my pleasure to serve as the Great Lakes Regional Director for a second term and an honor to greet you on behalf of the region. The Great Lakes Region was established in 1924 and at that time was composed of eight chapters. Today, we boast of 97 chapters located in Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Western Pennsylvania and Western New York. History shows that the Great Lakes Region is an integral part of the very fabric of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. The region is the epitome of trained leaders who have given unwavering service. The current program theme, “Global Leadership through Timeless Service,” easily speaks to the long standing commitment of this region.
Currently, our sorority is under the leadership of Attorney Carolyn House Stewart. Attorney Stewart is the first attorney to serve as president of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. The Great Lakes Region congratulates Attorney Stewart for two years of successful leadership and looks forward to two more years of stellar performance. The region stands by its promise of unwavering support as she continues to lead Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority to higher heights in our global community with awareness, advocacy and action as the catalyst.
The current program initiatives of the sorority are listed under the theme, “Global Leadership through Timeless Service.” Over the past two years the region has zealously implemented the program initiatives and has experienced much success. Likewise, over the next two years, we will be zealous, vigilant and purposeful in executing the program initiatives and have high expectations for success. In Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority we live by the sorority’s motto of rendering “service to all mankind,” and in this region, "service remains the order of the day - everyday".
