CAAAI Events Committee

On Sunday May 25, 2025 the CAAAI assembled its first Men's Health Club Committee, to start a group focused on the importance of healthcare as it pertains to male members of our alumni.

This blue-ribbon committee consists of a cross section of individuals who are experts in their respective fields in and outside of the healthcare profession; they are Dr. Aubrey Bentham (Committee Chair), Mr. Denis Carrington (Co-Chair), Dr. Felix Mayers (Medical), Mr. John Trotman, Dr. Frank Douglas (Medical), Mr. Richard Williams, and Dr. Keith Hampden.

A Blue-Ribbon committee is a group of individuals, oftentimes leaders in a particular field appointed to study, investigate, advise and educate on a specific set of issues or concerns of importance to a group, community, or society.

CAAAI Prayer Warriors Committee

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 30^th. 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.
