WHEREAS, Dr. Glover's esteemed leadership role as President of Tennessee State University, which demands extreme concentration and fortitude, enables her to serve the women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., as First Supreme Anti-Basileus with even more dexterity and expertise, making her an exceptionally fundamental component of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Glover's superlative vision as First Supreme Anti-Basileus is to promote stability in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.,'s sisterhood; instill fiscal integrity and accountability; reduce boule registration costs to sorors and shorten the number of days of the boule; ensure that undergraduates are more engaged at the national level by preparing them to seek more significant leadership roles in AKA; and open the flow of communications between the membership and the directorate; and
WHEREAS, after being selected as First Supreme Anti-Basileus in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Dr. Glover has not only accomplished her initial goals for the sorority, but she has also excelled even further to guarantee that Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., is one of the most prestigious sororities a young woman can join, both at the national and international levels; and
WHEREAS, because Dr. Glover has a heart for her community and giving back to the less fortunate, she has participated in countless service projects and activities as a part of her current chapter, as well as her prior chapters, Xi Omega Chapter of Washington, D.C., and Alpha Psi Chapter of Tennessee State University, and her dedicated service has extended from the local level to the regional and even international levels; and
WHEREAS, prior to her current position as President of Tennessee State University, Dr. Glover served as Dean of the College of Business at Jackson State University, where through her ambition and purpose, she heroically implemented the first Ph.D. in Business at a Historically Black College or University; and
WHEREAS, Philippians, Chapter 4, Verse 13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," has been the treasured mantra driving Dr. Glover to lead and allowed her to set an incredible and unforgettable example for all the women in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., that undoubtedly look to her for guidance and wisdom; and
WHEREAS, throughout Dr. Glover's immeasurably successful and prosperous career, she has received a faithful and unwavering shower of loving support from her husband, Charles Glover; daughter, Soror Candace Baskin Glover, an attorney in Washington, D.C.; and son, Dr. Charles Glover II, a mathematician in Washington, D.C.; and
