Greetings to the Officers and Members,
We embrace the year 2024 in celebrating the BLESSINGS of 105 years of existence embraced by our theme "Legacy of Fortitude." During my years as President I have no illusions that I would not have problems, but in my spiritual belief, I prayed for solutions in all difficulties. I found it very invigorating to take a giant leap forward to continue building on the foundation left to us by our Pioneers. That is knowing that the headquarters at 25 Logan Circle N. W., Washington, DC 20005 will be secured.
This greeting also includes the family members, friends and sponsors, because their encouragement and financial support serves as a catalyst of inspiration with fortitude to survive during the Covid pandemic. For that I am grateful.
Let us move into this 105th year of existence with the vision of welcoming new members that will become great leaders to take this organization into the future with exciting ideas for growth.
I look forward to the students enrolled in the Institute of Cosmetology (IOC) because they will be in the presence of highly skilled educators to strengthen their knowledge and skills to increase their financial productivity. The quality of the Institute of Cosmetology (IOC) continues to be above the cutting edge of education, along with a revisit to professional ethics.
There is something for everyone in this organization. I look forward to this year with you, and that we will be blessed by Jesus Christ for a fruitful year with a lot of LOVE and PEACE!
