Greetings Brothers of the Mighty Western Region!

I am pleased to welcome you to the beautiful city of San Diego, CA, for our 2022 Western Regional Conference (WRC)! It is with great joy that we extend this official invitation. The WRC will take place on Thursday, May 26th through Sunday, May, 29th in person at the Best Western Plus Hacienda Hotel Old Town and virtually on our Regional Zoom platform. This has been a long time coming seeing that we are still in the fight as it relates to the COVID-19 Pandemic. As a result, we have been restricted to being solely on Zoom for our meetings. Still, through it all, we have remained consistent and effective in serving our communities and uplifting the principles of Sigma. Registration for this exciting event is open and available via our Regional storefront, Indigo Apparel, we encourage you to register yourself today!

I would like to thank this year's official conference sponsor Good Health Wins, one of the nation’s foremost immunization advocacy nonprofits. I would also like to personally thank the local chapters Lambda Iota Sigma, Omicron Iota Sigma, and Lambda Iota for hosting our Regional Conference. The Brothers have taken the time to provide a detailed list of sites and venues where we can fellowship together and further our bond. Your Regional Leadership Team has heard your feedback regarding the desire of wanting to enjoy the cities we gather in for the business of Sigma. The agenda is fluid for Brothers to see and enjoy the city of San Diego and engage in the community and brotherly bonding events, explore the city, taste the various cuisines, and most importantly, handle the business of the Region.

Please keep in mind that all of our efforts are only viable with continued support from the Brotherhood. We all are working men, whether as entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, actively engaged fathers, with much on our plate, yet we balance our lives and our Love for the Brotherhood at the same time. I want to commend each of you for your commitment to excellence every day you step out of bed and prepare to take on the world.

Fraternally,

Bro. Kedric D. Nalls
34th Western Regional Director
