Women’s History Month
“Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories”
(Four Charter Members Not Pictured)
As I reflect on 96 years, I think about the first nine members of Eta’s Chapter.
I imagine they would be excited, emotional, grateful, enthusiastic, proud, delighted, and just appreciative to see, hear, and feel that their vision has evolved. The mission continues “To Foster a Spirit of Sisterhood Among Teachers and To Promote the Highest Ideals of the Teaching Profession.”
Eta continues to be blessed with strong, creative, and innovative leadership. We will continue to embrace the future with love, respect, communication, and patience. We will also continue to educate our youth, the community, and ourselves.
Let us spotlight all the Women in Eta Chapter past and present. We stand on the shoulders of accomplished and outstanding achievers to whom we are deeply grateful.
Eta’s Women are bold, empowering leaders, flexible, adaptable, and have successfully risen to the occasion in any situation.
Our notable “Three Golden Seniors” must be spotlighted. They continue to share their knowledge and wisdom. Getting a history lesson about Eta, “back in the day” is always intriguing!
Eta Chapter members bring unique talents and skills which enable us to achieve our goals.
