Dear Friends, Supporters, and Members, Greetings! It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the AACEAINC website. In light of the formidable economic times, to God is the glory that we continue to grow and flourish. We are indeed fortunate to have the community’s invaluable friendship and support. We have ended the year well playing a major role in capacity building and parent leadership. Today’s challenges demand critical thinking, at its best, to bridge the achievement gap. We move onward with confidence and continue to work on the cutting edge. We make a difference through our "capacity for innovation" and pride this as a Hallmark! Please navigate the pages at our site and view the links that provide extended information. In this stage of our development, we steadfastly work toward bringing rewarding elements to the organizational structure that impacts our effectiveness and our role in the community. Furthermore, the AACEAINC organization prides service as ‘priceless”. Service builds character and leadership. We encourage our young people to give back, to serve, and to lead. We hope they will be moved by the exemplary good works of iconic figures that have meritoriously served our community. Hence, on behalf of the AACEAINC organization, I wish to take this opportunity to express “Congratulations” to this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award Honorees, Anthony Gellineau, Naida Nelson Njoku, Saundra Palmer, and Gary Smith (Posthumous Award). May our young people aspire to emulate their exuberance, commitment and dedication. (See Announcements Page) Lastly, AACEAINC is a great place to fellowship; we invite you to join in our vision. As we usher in another year we look forward to your being a part of our momentum. Cordially, Rosalind O'Neal President /CEO |
