Rep. Sewell: Mr. Speaker, as we begin the 94th Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority South Eastern Regional Conference in Birmingham, Alabama, I rise to honor the extraordinary leadership of Dr. Tracey Morant Adams, the 27th South Eastern Regional Director.

From her initiation on the campus of University of Montevallo to her tenure as the 27th South Eastern Regional Director, Tracey has embodied the values of sisterhood, scholarship, and service to all mankind.

During her four-year tenure, she has led the work of over 13,000 members across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama. She has launched signature initiatives that have strengthened chapters, expanded voter engagement, and advanced economic empowerment. Tracey's leadership is matched by her extraordinary professional achievements, as well.

On a personal note, Tracey and I share more than just titles and service. We have a 30-year friendship and sisterhood. As I reflect on Tracey's service, I cannot help but think of my mother, Nancy Gardner Sewall, the 18th South Eastern Regional Director. Mom would be so proud to see how Tracey has followed in her footsteps, protecting the legacy of our beloved sorority while boldly imagining our future. I can almost hear my mother saying, 'well done, my daughter, well done.'

On behalf of the women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Dr. Tracey Morant Adams, the 27 South Eastern Regional Director, on the occasion of the 94th South Eastern Regional Conference in Birmingham, Alabama.

We are so proud of you, Tracey. Well done, well done, well done.
