With hearts full of gratitude, we honor and celebrate our own, Elicia Pegues Spearman, Esq., as she concludes her service as North Atlantic Regional Director of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®.
 
Thank you for your visionary leadership, unwavering commitment, and faithful service to the North Atlantic Region. Over the past four years, you have led with grace, integrity, and excellence, inspiring sorors across the region while strengthening the bonds of our beloved sisterhood. 
 
As your chapter, we are especially proud to celebrate your remarkable leadership and the legacy you leave behind. Through the F.I.R.S.T. Administration, you challenged us to put our commitment to service and sisterhood into action each day.  You demonstrated that true leadership is measured not only by what we say, but by what we do.  Your dedication, humility, and servant’s heart have made an indelible impact, and we are grateful for the many ways you have represented both our chapter and the North Atlantic Region with distinction.
 
Thank you, Madam 35, for your extraordinary leadership, faithful service, and steadfast commitment to the North Atlantic Region.  It has been our privilege to witness your service, and your legacy will continue to inspire sorors for generations to come.
