About the Blueprint

After accomplishing its initial priority of securing and establishing 1000 Southhill Drive as the home of the Seven Pearls Foundation, the Board of Directors spent the past year seeking input and support from members across the global sisterhood to shape a comprehensive blueprint for the Foundation. This blueprint will ensure clarity and relevance for the Foundation’s future. We gathered feedback from a wide range of voices, both cohesive and far-reaching, to guide the Foundation’s evolution. Led by Mrs. Helen J. Owens, the 20th national president of a global community organization, Ex Officio member of the Board, and founding national president for the Foundation, a committee developed a physical document that was approved by the Board. This document serves as the blueprint: the Stage 2 Strategic Action Plan. Mrs. Owens’ leadership was pivotal in bridging the diverse voices within the sisterhood, ensuring that all perspectives were heard and integrated into the plan. ​
