Greater Greenville Chapter
The Greater Greenville Chapter received its charter on March 2, 2024. Regina Branch Edmonds, the oldest daughter of the late founder, Queenie L Branch, established the chapter in Greenville, North Carolina. The idea to start a chapter was inspired in memory of Regina’s mother. Regina Edmonds was initially a member of the Norfolk Chapter before relocating to North Carolina. As an associate member, she began the process to organize an interest group in August of 2023. The mentoring chapter is Tar River located in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
