The Purpose and History of the

Alpha Kappa Alpha Connection Committee

The Alpha Kappa Alpha Connection Committee was developed in the 1980s by former International President Faye Bryant.  It is an extension of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated's long tradition of partnering with other national and community-based organizations to empower the underserved and the voiceless, to improve communities, and to address social justice issues. The term Connection is based on the concept of linking every member together to maximize resources, expertise, and relationships to work collectively and collaboratively to identify issues of paramount concern.

 

Under the leadership of former International President Carolyn House Stewart and the adoption of the Connection Committee, chapters were asked to re-visit/visit each chapter’s involvement in the election and voting process and work to get citizens to the polls. Chapters were encouraged to participate in voter registration drives, help educate the citizenry about issues and the process, get citizens to the voting polls, and attend AKA Day at the Capitol.

 

You can learn more about Epsilon Epsilon Omega's commitment to the Connection Committee by going to the About Us tab of this website and selecting Chapter History in the drop-down menu.
