Designing Women of the Southeast Region

Each biennium incoming state presidents of the Southeast Region attend a pre-conference training session which focuses on responsibilities for the office. During this time of training, state presidents develop a bond that extends throughout life as sisters of a unique group. Late night meetings, lengthy discussions about our state organization, family, professional area, etc. are just some of the moments shared during this time in addition to the intense training sessions. One of the "iconic" discussions is what will we call ourselves! This year's group agreed unanimously on the name of "Designing Women". The eleven women who make up this group are:

• Alabama - Bonnie Shanks
• Arkansas - Cathy Long
• Florida - Carrie Frye
• Georgia - Peggy McCall
• Kentucky - Jane Thompason
• Louisiana - Donnis Poe
• Mississippi - Karen Fayard
• North Carolina - Linda Little
• South Carolina - Martha Horton
• Tennessee - Kathleen Harned
• Virginia - Julia Van de Water
