PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Welcome and thank you for visiting our website.  The Raleigh (NC) chapter of the Links, Incorporated is the 30th chapter of the Southern Area and was chartered on April 18, 1949.  Our membership consists of 58 professional, dedicated and talented women,  and 24 alumna members, who make a difference in the lives of the underserved population in the Raleigh community.  As chapter president, I am honored to lead this chapter in the spirit of our founders Margaret Rosell Hawkins and Sarah Strickland Scott highlighting our friendship and service.​​​​

Our collective goal to serve our community is demonstrated by increasing our community outreach by more than 75% via our focus on Breast Cancer Awareness and Opportunity Outreach, Links International Foreign Affairs and Business Empowerment for Youth in partnership with International Focus (NGO), and by partnering with Dress for Success in implementing the Armayne G. Dunston “Dressing Her from the Inside Out”.  These programs along with others resulted in our chapter contributing thousands of service hours to the greater Raleigh community. I am proud of history and commitment to our leadership academy, to the seniors in our community and to local women leaders via recognition at our annual Emerald Awards program.

 

In 2024, the Raleigh chapter celebrated 75 years of dedicated service to the Raleigh community.  The phenomenal women of the chapter continue to donate their time and talents to enrich the lives of people who live and work in our community. Because of their giving spirit, I am proud to serve as their 24th chapter president.

​

It is my hope that you will visit our website from time to time to see how we are impacting lives in our community.


Kimberly Y. Williams, President
