Sorors,

We have work to do! There are less than 100 days until the election, and the countdown is on. Our Pink and Green Job is to REGISTER, EDUCATE, AND MOBLIZE voters.

The first step is to REGISTER VOTERS. The goal is to target populations with low voter turnout rates. This includes the youth, returning citizens, and those who have become apathetic and disengaged from the political process. Don't forget to seek help from our partner, When We All Vote, to assist in your registration efforts.

Next, EDUCATE your communities by hosting candidate forums and election town hall events. Now more than ever, we must ensure that voters are armed with the knowledge to make an informed decision in November.

Lastly, have a plan for MOBILIZING voters to cast their ballots. Create your voting plan now and encourage others to do the same.

The theme for this election is TAKE FOUR OR MORE in '24. If you attended Boule, you received your Take Four Or More in '24 button. Wear them proudly. To order additional buttons, please click here. These buttons can be worn by anyone and given to the community to share our message.

Sorors, let's get FIRED UP AND READY TO SOAR TO THE POLLS!

Golden Soror Phyllis Parker Whiteside became an Ivy Beyond the Wall on July 31, 2024. Soror Phyllis was known for her love of AKA as well as her wit, sense of humor and engaging personality. She was initiated into Alpha Iota Chapter and was a member of Beta Omega Chapter. Our heartfelt prayers are extended to her niece Soror Cheyanne Parker, her family and all who knew and loved her.  IBTW ceremony information will be forthcoming.

To ensure we capture all sorors that have now become an Ivy Beyond the Wall, a submission link has been created for ease of reporting. Ivy Beyond the Wall submissions should be provided by the Chapter Basilei as soon as the chapter is notified. Forms will be accepted for all sorors who have become an Ivy Beyond the Wall from the end of the 2024 Mid-Western Regional Conference through the end of the year. Please use the following link.

Sorors, we are missing in action! Each year the Mid-Western Region impacts over 1,000 members of our communities with sustainable service projects such as CHIPP™ and YLI, but it is only shared locally. The Mid-Western Region is small, but mighty and Madam Regional Director encourages us to show that. We can do this! Submission details can be found in your latest Ivy Leaf magazine. Remaining deadline dates:

• Winter Issue – October 15th
