Brothers,

I am pleased to welcome you to the beautiful city of Mesa, AZ for our 2022 Western Regional Fall Board Meeting (WRFBM). It is with great joy that we extend this official invitation. The WRFBM will take place on Saturday, October 29th in person at Mesa Community College and virtually on our Regional RingCentral platform. This has been a long time coming seeing that we are still in the fight as it relates to the COVID-19 Pandemic. As a result, we have been restricted to being solely on Zoom for our meetings. Still, through it all, we have remained consistent and effective in serving our communities and uplifting the principles of Sigma.

I would like to thank this year's official conference sponsor Good Health Wins, one of the nation’s foremost immunization advocacy nonprofits. I would also like to personally thank the local chapters: Alpha Epsilon Sigma, Lambda Kappa Sigma, Tau Theta Sigma, Lambda Xi, and Alpha Alpha Epsilon for hosting our Fall Board Meeting. The Brothers have taken the time to provide a detailed list of sites and venues where we can fellowship together and further our bond. Your Regional Leadership Team has heard your feedback regarding the desire to enjoy the cities we gather in for the business of Sigma.

Please keep in mind that all of our efforts are only viable with continued support from the Brotherhood. We all are working men, whether as entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, actively engaged fathers, with much on our plate, yet we balance our lives and our Love for the Brotherhood at the same time. I want to commend each of you for your commitment to excellence every day you step out of bed and prepare to take on the world.

Fraternally,

Bro. Sidney Jackson
35th Western Regional Director
