President's Message

If you’re reading this, you’re part of something meaningful, whether you’ve been here a long time or you’re just finding your place.

I’m Viveca, and I’m honored to serve as your Chapter President this year. I believe leadership is about showing up with intention, listening with care, and having the courage to imagine what’s possible, especially when we do it together.

As Maya Angelou reminded us, “We can’t become what we want by remaining what we are.”  At our Gala, we paused to honor legacy, the people, passion, and perseverance that built this chapter. Today, we sprout a new branch.

This year, my goal is simple: to help guide us forward with courage, creativity, and connection.

Transformation doesn’t mean losing who we are. It means leaning into who we’re becoming. It means staying open, saying yes to new ideas, and creating space for every member to feel seen, valued, and engaged.

You’ll hear from me throughout the year as we build, step by step. These messages aren’t meant to be speeches — they’re conversations. Invitations. Reminders that this chapter moves best when we move together.

Whether you’ve been here for years or you’re just getting started, you belong here. And I can’t wait to see how we show up for one another in the months ahead.

Let’s keep going.

With gratitude and momentum,
