OUR PROGRAMS

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Economic Development Committee is empowered by Delta Sigma Theta Incorporated Economic Development program initiative Financial Fortitude. Financial Fortitude is a process that helps participants set and define goals, develop a plan to achieve them, and to put the plan into action. The process serves as a blueprint to address all aspects of personal finances. Economic Development Committee supports participants by conducting free financial education programs and workshops. The initiative helps members of the Sorority spread financial education throughout the local communities.

​

Some of our Economic Development programs include:

  • Dining with a Purpose

  • Women Owned Business Expo

  • Money Matters: Extreme Couponing

INTERNATIONAL AWARENESS & INVOLVEMENT

The International Awareness and Involvement program thrust focuses on involving the chapter in international affairs. CMAC is charged with implementing and participating in projects and initiatives that address the needs of diverse cultures. The chapter’s commitment to impactful programs that promote awareness and change are demonstrated by our current and past initiatives such as:

 

  • World AIDS Day where free HIV testing and information to the local community is provided while partnering with local organizations
     

  • HIV/AIDS Awareness Community Walk to promote awareness of a disease that impact all ages and cultures

  • Community shoe donation drives in collaboration with The Soul of My Footprint (TSOMF). TSOMF is a non-profit organization committed to shoes and medical and dental supplies to the people of Jinga, Uganda.

EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

We invite girls ages 11-18 to join CMAC's mentoring programs (Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy and Delta G.E.M.S.

​

Our initiative also includes read-ins at our partnered school, Westview Elementary School of Phenix City, Alabama and two scholarship funds: the Columbus Metropolitan Alumnae Chapter Book Scholarship and the Vickie Williams-Wiley Scholarship.
