Top Ladies of Distinction, Incorporated
Greetings,
It is an honor to greet you on behalf of Area III Top Teens of America Chapter Advisors and the members of
st
Top Teens of America. The 41 Area III Leadership Conference has been planned for many months. Thank you
to the Host Chapter, Evergreen Park, for all of your hard work. The conference will showcase the youth in
fifteen chapters throughout Metropolitan Chicago, St. Louis, East St. Louis and Milwaukee. Our Top Teens are
the best of what we want in our society and that is why they are the number one thrust in TLOD. This is the
second Area III Leadership Conference under our National TLOD President Lady Drema Lee Woldman’s
theme, “Investing in V.A.L.U.E.S. that support, enhance and sustain our communities.” We are enthusiastic,
filled with excitement and full of energy about this weekend!
Area III’s theme is, “Investing in the Future Through Exceptional Leadership and Service,” will allow chapters
to highlight the community involvement of Top Teens of America in collaboration with chapters of Top Ladies
of Distinction. Many Top Teens participating and those who are not in attendance at the Area III Conference,
provide service while achieving academic success on an ongoing basis. Our parents are to be commended for
allowing their children to participate in this leadership experience.
Top Teens, you are to be congratulated for choosing to be a part of one of the most outstanding youth groups
anywhere! Host night activities, the Area III service project, showcasing Teens’ talents and TTA Leadership
Luncheon (HBCU and Career Options), first Spelling Bee Competition, Mr. and Miss TTA and Awards Gala and
more are all packed into this weekend. There will be some time set aside for fun and networking, while
practicing the TTA motto, “Participation is Our Foundation as Leaders of Tomorrow.”
Enjoy you’re the conference!
In Service to Youth and Adults,
Lady Catherine E. Miles
