Our recent Leadership Retreat was truly a full-circle moment for the Clayton-Henry County National Pan-Hellenic Council as we welcomed Mayor Beverly Burks as our keynote speaker — the very leader who chartered our council in 2017. Her return as both a trailblazer and community leader served as a powerful reminder of our roots and the vision that brought this council to life. Mayor Burks’ inspiring message on servant leadership, unity, and purpose reaffirmed our commitment to collaboration and impact, setting a meaningful tone for the work ahead as we continue building on the foundation she helped establish.
