and professional development of its members, on the bonds of
sisterhood, and on its domestic and international servant
leadership; and
WHEREAS, Alpha Kappa Alpha has long remained at the forefront
of effective advocacy and social change, and its members' efforts
have made an important contribution to the goals of equality and
equity for all citizens of the world; now, therefore, be it
