Alabama has wonderful leaders who are dedicated to our state society and promote historic preservation, education, and patriotism on a daily basis. A very special thank you is extended to each of you! It is hard to believe we are celebrating the final year of our state’s bicentennial. Chapters have done incredible bicentennial events the past two years. I look forward to sharing our stories, the focus of the committee in 2019 and hearing about all your bicentennial events and activities. As we move Forward in Service to America and begin the third and final year of the Dillon Administration, I am honored to serve as your 40th State Regent and want to tout your many accomplishments in my State Regent’s Report during the 128th Continental Congress in 2019. Patriotism will be the primary focus of this report. I think Alabama Daughters do an outstanding job sponsoring and promoting patriotic activities and I look forward to hearing about each one. In this packet you will find the forms you will need to submit for your chapter dues and contributions, State Standard of Excellence, credentials for the state conference, report of chapter officers, and notice of a chapter member’s death.
