I am honored to welcome you all to the 2025-2026 program year. As President of the National Harbor Chapter Teen Group, I am delighted to be a part of an amazing legacy of past presidents who have helped shape us into the outstanding five star chapter we are today.

One of my principal goals for this program year is to increase teen participation throughout grade group and chapter wide events. It is important to me that all teens feel welcomed and can call this chapter a second home.

I also hope to pull us closer to our Chapter’s 2024-2026 theme, “Might in Culture, Rooted in Love, Committed to Excellence.” This year we must continue to understand the importance of Black culture, use love as our guiding principle, and most importantly continue to elevate our standards and push all of our members to strive to be great.

With the current standing of our political climate, it is important that this year we focus on educating the teens on real world and impactful events. As Black teens it is vital that we have an understanding of the policies and changes that have an ongoing effect and presence in our day to day lives.

In closing, I hope that by the end of my service as president, the teens of the National Harbor Chapter feel more deeply connected with one another, are more informed about the world around them, and continue to find ways to connect and educate people who might be less informed.

Jack and Jill forever,

Chase M. Hall, Teen President
