Greetings from the President

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as the 19th president of the Triangle Park (NC) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated. For more than 40 years, our chapter has proudly served the communities of Durham, Orange, and Wake counties-linking in friendship and purpose to deliver meaningful, measurable, and lasting impact.

 

With a membership of more than 60 accomplished and professional women, we remain deeply committed to advancing our mission through targeted programming and service initiatives. Our work is focused on uplifting individuals and communities who may be underserved, overlooked, or in need of advocacy, support, and opportunity.

 

Founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on November 9, 1946, The Links, Incorporated has a rich legacy of service and leadership. Thirty-eight years later, in 1984, the Triangle Park (NC) Chapter was chartered, and we continue to uphold the organization’s high standards of friendship and service.

 

In addition to our active members, we are proud to be supported by a dedicated network of 29 alumnae members and three platinum members, all of whom remain engaged and instrumental in advancing our mission and strengthening our community impact.

 

As a part of the Southern Area of The Links, Incorporated-which includes chapters across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Nassau, Bahamas-we collaborate with fellow chapters to deliver transformational and empowering programs both locally and globally.
