Our History
Deborah Taylor, Historian
On December 13, 2010, the Southern Maryland Alumni Chapter was chartered by Glenda McDougal (President), Matthew Hicks (Vice President), Andre Ford (Financial Secretary), Nicole Morton-McFadden (Corresponding Secretary), Valerie Harris (Recording Secretary), Felicia Scott (Treasurer) and Oscar Mebane, Jr. (Sgt-at-Arms).
The original charter dissolved and in February 2017, the Southern Maryland Alumni Chapter was reactivated under its second charter and under the leadership of Cecelia Spinks (President), Latina Wilson (Vice President) and Deborah Taylor (Secretary).
On April 26, 2021, the chapter was incorporated in the State of Maryland. Since the chapter would no longer share incorporation with the UMES National Alumni Association, the incorporation bred new charter members: Teonna Wallop (President), Latina Wilson (1st Vice President), Damon Thompson-Estes (2nd Vice President), Jaracus Copes (3rd Vice President), Valerie Harris (Recording Secretary), Myah Foster (Corresponding Secretary), Cynthia Lilly-Hughes (Treasurer), Akira Ali (Parliamentarian), Deborah Taylor (Historian) and Valerie Robinson (Chaplain).
