Alumni of the Mighty Mid-Western Region:

I can’t wait to greet you at the 2025 Regional Mothers conference, July 25-27, 2025, at the Sonesta Resort in beautiful Hilton Head, South Carolina.  Our conference planning team has been working hard to execute our inaugural Mother’s Conference alumni track.  We are thrilled that you have decided to join us.  The Mid-Western Region promises to deliver on your dreams of a lovely weekend vacation as we aim to connect you with new possibilities in the pink and blue. 

In 1938, Marion Stubbs Thomas and twenty-one other mothers created an organization that has been preeminent in nurturing future African American leaders through leadership development, volunteer service, philanthropic giving, and civic duty for 85 years. Mothers in the Columbus, Ohio Chapter Dared to Dream back in 1945, when they charted the first chapter outside of the Eastern Region.   

Our mother’s conference theme, Rooted in Purpose, United in Promise: Delivering the Dream Together, was developed by Mother Member Dawn Smith (Greater Northeast Indiana Chapter). and “reflects the deep-rooted mission of Jack and Jill to empower African American youth and highlights the collective promise of mothers working in unison to fulfill the vision of nurturing future leaders.”
 
On behalf of the Mid-Western Regional Executive Board, I implore you to arrive in sunny South Carolina ready to reconnect with other regional alumni, take advantage of the networking and programming opportunities; importantly, have fun!  We also encourage you to use this conference experience to pursue legacy engagement on a chapter and regional level, leadership opportunities within Jack & Jill and beyond, and mentorship for younger alumni across our region.  MWR Alumni, you are our crown jewels, let’s Deliver the Dream Together! 

Yours in Service, 

Cynthia Miree-Coppin
Regional Director
