About Our Incorporators:

Before we were incorporated, Pearls Among the Ivy Foundation Incorporated began as an ad hoc committee of Sigma Kappa Omega Chapter. The committee was tasked with completing Sigma Kappa Omega’s 501c(3) (non-profit) application. The committee was timebound and would cease to exist once
the foundation had been established.

Over the years, committee members included: Doris Jones, Marvette Artis, Marilyn King-Lewis, Mozell Weston, Karen Dyer, Juliaette S. Thomas, Deena D. Currie, Kim Cheek, Becky Jo Peterson-Buie, and Karla C. Lewis. On December 14, 2015, the committee submitted their incorporation papers.
