Tekmekia Gilchrist
Welcome from the 2nd Vice President – Program Planning
My name is Tekmekia Gilchrist and I am honored to serve as your 2nd Vice President. I am excited to roll up my sleeves and get back to work for Delta.
At DCP, we are anchored in serving—rooted in purpose, driven by impact, and committed to uplifting our communities across Douglas, Carroll, and Paulding counties.
Delta Sigma Theta was founded on Christian principles and a deep commitment to public service. Our work is guided by our Five-Point Programmatic Thrust, which shapes every initiative we launch and every partnership we form.
1. Educational Development
We invest in the academic success of our youth through programs like Delta Academy, Delta GEMS, and EMBODI. From mentorship to scholarships, we nurture leaders prepared to excel in the classroom and beyond.
2. Economic Development
We promote financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and economic empowerment. Through workshops and community events, we equip individuals and families with tools to build wealth, manage debt, and support Black-owned businesses.
3. Physical and Mental Health
We address the holistic wellness of our communities. Whether hosting health fairs, fitness events, or mental health awareness campaigns, DCP prioritizes healthy living—body, mind, and spirit.
4. Political Awareness and Involvement - Social Action
We mobilize voters, advocate for justice, and educate citizens on civic engagement. Through forums, voter registration drives, and partnerships with local leaders, we help shape informed, active communities.
5. International Awareness and Involvement
Our service extends beyond borders. We support global initiatives such as clean water access, disaster relief, and education for girls in underserved nations—reminding us that service is without limits.
From Douglas to Carroll to Paulding, DCP shows up, leans in, and leads with purpose.
We are not just present in the community—we are anchored in it.
And as long as there is need, we will serve.
