committee chair and committee member, all demonstrate
how I am aptly prepared to serve in this position and be a
successful steward and custodian of the organization's
records.

”I have had the excellent opportunity to serve under the leadership of Soror Sandra K. Horton as a collegiate chapter advisor,

Alumnae Chapter President, as a member of the inaugural Pearl Cohort, and as a member of the Regional leadership team.
Soror Horton is the ultimate example of a collaborative, patient, kind, fair, and honest Delta leader. She will be a great asset to
the National Executive Board to assist in moving our organization forward through the next century of sisterhood, scholarship,
and service.

”LASHANDRA LITTLE, Collegiate Advisory Council, Alumnae Chapter President

Soror Sandra Horton possesses superior knowledge and insight of the history, mission, and vision of Delta Sigma Theta
Sorority. She readily applies and shares that knowledge and insight with sorors in her quest to help them all reach the pinnacle
of success, professionally and sisterly relations. Her leadership helped guide me to a successful term as a State Coordinator.

PATRICIA TAYLOR, South Florida State Coordinator, 2016-2020

”Soror Horton's well-known commitment to Delta as a member of the Scholarship and Standards Committee and Southern

Regional Director will promote an atmosphere of openness as National Secretary. I have had the opportunity to serve as
an alumnae chapter president, collegiate chapter advisor and a member of the Regional Leadership team during the time
she held these positions and have found her to be very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in any and every way.

”LINDA JONES, Collegiate Chapter Advisor, Alumnae Chapter President

I've had the great pleasure of serving under the leadership of Soror Sandra Horton as the immediate past Regional
Director. Her leadership style makes everyone feel included as she recognizes how their gifts and talents are essential to
the organization.
