Iota Phi Lambda Sorority Inc., celebrates Business Month in the month of April.  Businesses are the cornerstone of our society and epitomize the American Dream.  There are roughly $2.6 million African American-owned businesses in the United States and the number increases every year.  Our sorority honors and recognizes business owners and entrepreneurs around the nation that are making a difference in their local communities.

The Coronavirus is firmly ensconced in the United States and changing our way of life. Please stay safe and healthy while practicing social distancing. No one is immune so please follow the guidelines released by the CDC.  This crisis is forcing many of us to change the way we interact, the way we work and ultimately the way we live. I challenge each of you to find the silver lining. Please continue to lead, motivate, encourage, and support one another.

Normally, the Eastern Region would host a Regional Conference in April; however, due to the Coronavirus, our conference has been rescheduled to July 9-12, 2020.  As with everything, stay tuned for more information regarding the conference and conference activities.  We hope to see all Sorors, MOI, Pelati, and FIL at the Regional Conference.

My prayers and blessings to you and your family.

Sisterly,

Soror Shirley Dean Johnson,
Eastern Regional Director
