🌸🌸The Amazing Albany Teens, Lead Teen Sponsor Dr. Stephanie Dyer, and the team of Chaperone Mothers are "Chromed Out" for the 68th Teen Leadership Conference in Atlanta, GA.
Several of our Chapter Teens in attendance submitted outstanding portfolios to showcase their talents, leadership, and diligent work over the past school year. One of the many highlights is Teen Ivan Kelley being recognized as one of the top three Poet Laureates (the winner will be announced during the conference) and Teen Cydney Love's solo dance performance.
We wish our teens a wonderful experience and look forward to learning of more highlights from their week.🌸🌸
