On March 4, 2026, the Washington DC Alumnae Chapter joined forces with the Federal City Alumnae Chapter and DC Statewide leadership for a final meeting with Mayor Muriel Bowser — bringing the collective priorities of both chapters directly to the city’s highest office.

The agenda was shaped by the members themselves. Drawing from a survey of sorors across both chapters, the delegation elevated the issues weighing most heavily on the minds of DC Deltas: federal intervention, challenges to Home Rule, and DC Statehood. The conversation also touched on quality healthcare — including concerns surrounding Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center — as well as education and workforce development, housing, and public safety. Ranked choice voting was also a topic of conversation during the one-hour session.

Beyond the discussion, the meeting yielded clear next steps for continued partnership. Mayor Bowser committed to advancing both policy and legislative measures to support homeownership, expanding engagement opportunities with residents to address customer service concerns at Cedar Hill, and continuing to prioritize accountability measures that have contributed to the District’s crime decline. The meeting affirmed three concrete areas of continued engagement: deepening the chapter’s work with the DC Board of Elections on voter education and ranked choice voting, partnering with the Office of the Mayor and MPD to strengthen police-community relations, and supporting the administration’s efforts to improve the resident experience at Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center.

It was a fitting close to a chapter of engagement with the Bowser administration, and a clear demonstration of what it looks like when Delta leads with data, unity, and purpose.
