Message from Nina Newton, President
Greetings Smithites,
I am so grateful for this opportunity to serve as President for the JCSU Washington, DC Alumni Chapter, 2020-2022. I thank everyone that voted, shared congratulations, encouraging words and support. This is an honor and privilege to serve, and I do not take it for granted. I look forward to continuing the work that has been built over these 90 years in this chapter from past leaders and members.
This has been the most interesting time in our lives with the state of the world, this country, the Pandemic, and our new norm of virtual meetings for work and social gatherings. It has been a time of reflection, creativity, new ideas, possibilities and hope. I trust this too shall pass and I am ready to move forward in this work for the good of family, friends, community, students alumni, and our University.
We are in a virtual setting, but we are still in action! We are meeting each month virtually via Zoom, and still connecting with fellow Alumni. What an amazing opportunity we have to connect, share ideas, support students, our community, the University and our local area alumni. We are excited to improve our business processes, meeting experience, and provide worthwhile virtual events for alumni while also giving back to the community, influencing future Smithites at local high schools and being a financial support to Johnson C. Smith University.
While 2020 has not been a year that anyone expected, we will remain focused to continue to give our best and be of service to others. JCSU alumni we are "Calling you to the floor!" Get involved in "The Room Where it Happens"! Meet us each month, get involved, check in on others, give back to JCSU to help our future alumni-they need us more than ever.
We cannot wait to see you! We cannot wait to serve with you!
We love thee Smith with all our hearts and we Hold High the Gold and Blue! See you soon!
In Solidarity,
Nina Newton, Chapter President
