INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM OVERVIEW
SOARING TO GREATER HEIGHTS OF SERVICE AND SISTERHOOD
With the theme, "Soaring to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood", the 2022-2026 administration seeks to build upon Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority’s rich legacy of service by galvanizing our sisterhood of more than 120,000 active members to lead on the front lines of change, education, and advocacy. Strengthen Our Sisterhood will serve as the administration’s “Foundation Initiative” as we strengthen our bonds to support our service mission. These initiatives are designed to improve the lives of those we serve. We will work collaboratively to maximize our outreach on progressive endeavors and consistently produce leaders who will advance our mission of service.
