As the Eastern Area Director my heart lives here, guiding us and our communities through the ebb and flow of life. We are a place of history and tradition intersecting with vision, creativity, and innovation. Vision tells not only a story of what we have accomplished, but equally opens our eyes to the potential and possibilities of what is yet to be. It is the creativity of our members who dream big. It is our area leadership that forges us forward with innovative ways of engagement. We in The East, embody the core values of our founders Margaret Rosell Hawkins and Sarah Strickland Scott. It is this high-level implementation of purpose and passion that envelop our communities with dynamic award-winning programming; empowers member participation and relationship building; and elevates our growth across all chapters. We in the East value the warm embrace of our two pillars friendship and service.
