President's Message
Over the past several weeks I have been reflecting on my opening words to you as the new President of Alpha Sigma Lambda. In preparation, I pulled out former messages from past presidents Ray Campbell and George Rogers, the history of the society and notes from previous board meetings. I come into this position with a legacy of support from past officers, the staff at the home office and all of you who serve our adult students. Read more for Dr. Patricia Brown
