Today, the South Metro Democratic Women's Council observed Women's Month with a special program featuring Dr. Elletta Denson as the guest speaker. She stressed the importance of cultivating joy and purpose, even in challenging circumstances. Dr. Denson also encouraged the audience to transform their personal struggles into advocacy for others. President Katina McCarty recognized Margaret Vaughn (BBA '70 University of Georgia) as a trailblazer within the organization, noting her historic achievement as the first African-American female graduate of Terry College in 1970. The Executive Board honored Dr. Denson, Margaret Vaughn, and newly appointed Parliamentarian Annette Wideman with floral presentations. The event was a meaningful celebration of women. Kudos to all SMDWC!!

January 19, 2026, marks a significant day as thousands of Atlantans gather for a powerful day of community service, contemplation, and unity, paying homage to the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We acknowledge and appreciate our newly elected president, Madam Katina McCarty, and her family, who are embodying the spirit of a 'day on' rather than a 'day off.' Madam President, we thank you for your exemplary leadership on this momentous day. SMDWC will maintain its commitment to community engagement throughout the year. Additional information will be forthcoming!
