    OUTSTANDING,is the only word that comes to mind as we look for an adequate way to best describe the Prayer Warriors Committee event on Sunday May 30th. Under the catchy title 'A powerful Prayer Happening', the committee’s leadership of LM Petal Crockwell and LM Grace Peters-Syfox planned, designed, and hosted a tele-conference evening of prayers and blessings for alumni members, supporters, and well-wishers. These dynamic sisters in the Lord took the lead and delivered a prayer-filled spiritual hour along with the 30-participants who called-in to the program for a period of unshackled worship. Senior Alumni, Reverend Dr. W. Eversley started the occasion with scriptures from the Book of Isaiah (KJV 40:31) where he explained the Christian values of 'waiting and praying'. CAAAI Vice President, Mr. Denis Carrington ended the evening of prayers with appropriate closing remarks.

    The public execution of George Floyd has awakened the nation to the inequities and iniquities of Systemic Racism. As we address the institutional and structural problems, there is a need to provide opportunities for minority professionals to discuss and find ways to deal with aspects of systemic racism that currently impact their lives.

    To address this, I am announcing the launch of Safe Haven Solutions-the Talk which will provide a Space for open and candid dialogue; a place where professionals can present and discuss ways to address current personal problems in the workplace, be it in industry, academia or government. Each discussion group will be limited to 5 participants and sessions will last 90 minutes. Participants will commit to observe Chatham House Rules and respect the wishes of the presenter. Everyone is encouraged to participate in Problem Identification, Cultural Influence, Personal Impact and Business Impact. In each session, participants will be selected from diverse backgrounds and professions.
