My Fellow Dragons, Donors, Supporters and Friends.

I greet you with the exciting spirit of the Dragon!

I am pleased to add my voice to that of the President of our DMV Metro Chapter (our host chapter), Ms. Bertha Chukwueke, in welcoming you to the homepage of our 36th Annual National Convention. This is a one-stop platform where you will find all you need to make your attendance at our 36th Convention an exciting and rewarding experience!

Under the theme “Facing the Future Together,” our 36th National Convention, to be held in the City of Baltimore, Maryland from Friday, August 30 through Sunday, September 1, 2024, promises to be a one-of-a-kind event of deliberations; recognitions; reuniting with classmates, schoolmates, and old friends; building life-time memories; networking; plus more!

I extend to you a personal invitation to come and enjoy our impressive lineup of speakers, participants and activities, and at the same time, be a part of the narrative that shapes the future of Ricks Institute and RIAA-USA, Inc. I am truly looking forward to sharing this time with all of you!
