President’s Message
As my term as your MS Division President draws to a close, please know how much I appreciate all of you. I am so grateful for the confidence bestowed on me by having been elected to this position. I have thoroughly enjoyed visiting with so many of the Chapters but regret I was unable to meet with all of you. Time constraints and life events sometime get in the way. Please continue to promote our organization and to recruit new members. It will take a little time, but I know we can double our membership!
The registration form and Conference Call for the 130th annual MS Division Convention have been included in the August 2026 Our Heritage newsletter (that can be accessed from the main page of this website). I hope you all will join us at Centennial Plaza Resort in Gulfport, MS, Thursday, September 24 through Saturday, September 26, 2026. This year’s theme will be “America 250-Celebrating the USA.” Our convention chairman Margaret Murdock has put together a fun-filled weekend. We will also be electing new officers for 2026-2028, so please get your credentials forms mailed in for your voting delegates. I look forward to seeing the new slate of officers.
The 2026 UDC General Convention will be held in Williamsburg, Virginia, October 29-November 1, 2026. Williamsburg is such a lovely, historic place and if you have never been, you are missing a wonderful treasure. I would love to have great attendance from our Mississippi Daughters, so please attend if possible!
Thank you again for electing me as your MS Division President; it has been a great honor!
In UDC Service,
Deborah “Debbie” Frances Cannon
