I am honored to have been selected as a Gamma Phi Beta Sorority Carnation Award recipient for the 2014-2016 biennium. The Carnation Award recognizes the accomplishments of distinguished alumnae in their professional and volunteer contributions to the communities, and this award is among the highest levels of recognition Gamma Phi Beta bestows on their members. I will receive the award at the National Convention in Atlanta, June 25, 2016.
