A LETTER FROM OUR CHAIR...

Greetings SRBLSA!

As everyone returns to our respective campuses, I wanted to offer my sincere thanks for a successful conference. I am hopeful that you enjoyed the sunshine, the beaches, and most importantly the convention seminars and programs. SRBLSA conventions always feel like a family reunion, and this one was no exception. As I mentioned in my farewell address, we as a region have a lot to be proud of. I am incredibly honored for the opportunity to have served as your Chair for the last year and am confident that the SRBLSA Chair-Elect, Brian Baptiste will continue the tradition of purposeful leadership and excellence that the South is accustomed to.

In the midst of the festivities on Saturday, I neglected to mention an exciting opportunity for SRBLSA students. We have created a scholarship to assist students who want to participate in the Matchmakers for Justice project. If you recall, Morgan Williams from the Student Hurricaine Network, discussed this exciting project at the Damali Booker Prayer Breakfast on Friday. In an effort to continue our purposeful activities in response to Katrina, SRBLSA we will provide $200 travel costs for 5 SRBLSA students to travel to New Orleans to particpate in this exciting program. Please see the attached documents for further information about the program.

To date, the Student Hurricane Network has recieved 100 applications for the 50 available spots for the program. I am pleased to announce that through a partnership between SRBLSA and SHN, 5 of the available spots are reserved for SRBLSA members.
If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, the applications must be recieved no later then this FRIDAY, January 26, 2007 by close of business. Please indicate on your application that you are applying from SRBLSA, and cc myself ( southern@nblsa.org) on the application. Please contact me with any questions.

See you in Atlanta.

With Purpose,
Kelli Byers Hooper
