Welcome
Message from the Chapter President Julie Harris Nelson
On Mission on Purpose is how the Majestic Miami Chapter started the 2022-23 program year. The Miami Vision was clear…
lead, motivate and encourage our Mothers to better their brand. Pave the way for our children by Adjusting our individual Crowns of Greatness while planting seeds of leadership through our children in our community. The Miami Chapter exposes their children to extraordinary chapter programming under the leadership efforts of Program Director Lindsay Hopkins, while at the same time teaching our children to be philanthropic, kind and respectful.
Our Miami Chapter programming includes but is not limited, promoting the arts and education by sponsoring South Florida Childrens’ Cluster, attending cultural excursions to tennis matches, sailing events, teaching etiquette classes, collecting/preparing/serving meals to the needy, can food drives, attending Jack and Jill golf outings, exploring the Underground Salt Water Railroad and Lighthouse, packing backs of school supplies for the Boys and Girls Club of America, studying the history of black jockeys contribution to horse racing and traveling around the world virtually to learn about other cultures and traditions.
The Miami family faces a new normal and challenge, everyday. This Chapter always accepts the challenge. Miami parents are resilient and so are the children! Their mission is always on purpose and always for all the children.
Julie Harris Nelson Miami Chapter President
