Distinguished Ladies & Gentlemen:

I bring you greetings from the President and members of the National Administration. Hardly is it believable that a year has elapsed since we converged at the last National Conference. With no power to ignore the events and time which have landed us to this joyous end, we are pleased to inform you that the Annual National Conference will be held September 21-23, 2007 in Providence, Rhode Island. This years Conference, which is the 33rd sitting of the General Assembly, will convene under the theme: “Partnership for Sustainable Peace and Development in Liberia”.

As you may be aware, at this year’s Conference the National Board of Directors will elect a new Corp of Officers. In this direction, the National Administration wishes to express its commitment to upholding the laws of the Union regarding the participation in elections. Accordingly, all chapters are emboldened to make full payment of dues ($250.00 per annum) and other payments owed. Failure to make payments on dues will lead to disbarment of Chapters form voting. Additionally, consistent with the pledge of this Administration to the realization of permanent residency for our people presently on the Temporary Protective Status (TPS), there will be a Special Fund Raising program. Also, in keeping with tradition, there will be a Queen Contest to replace the reigning Miss ULAA, Ms. Jacqueline Acqui. In this regards, Chapters are asked to submit the names of their respective contestant to the Chairperson of the Conference Committee, Mrs. Danlette Norris, no later than September 10, 2007. It is pleasing to add that in furtherance of the Administration policy to matching advocacy with services several workshops will be held. Among these workshops are: Health Awareness and Screening, Investment, Institutional Development and Immigration.

In order to ensure broader participation, the National Administration has agreed to set the conference fees at $50.00 (sitting fees at $25.00 & Dinner/Ball $25.00). Also, to make your stay in Providence, Rhode Island pleasant and rewarding, the National Conference Committee has identified several hotels and a car rental agency. A listing of these hotels and other pertinent information are attached.

With anxiety to meet and together with you plot the course of our cherished, noble and great institution,

We remain,

Isaac Saye Zawolo, Jr.
National General Secretary
