President's Message - Jan. 2026
Bro. Mikael E. LaRoche
Dear Brothers of Mu Lambda,
Happy New Year to each of you as we step confidently into 2026.
This year has begun against the backdrop of an evolving and often unpredictable series of international events—developments that many of us are watching closely and thoughtfully. These moments remind us of the importance of perspective, preparation, and brotherhood.
I spent my Christmas and New Year on the beautiful island of St. Kitts and Nevis. An unexpected travel delay extended my stay by an additional day, affording me valuable time for reflection. That pause allowed me to consider not only the year behind us, but the collective impact we have continued to make as a chapter.
We all emerged from a tumultuous 2025—one that concluded with meaningful service initiatives and a spirit of Yuletide fellowship that strengthened our bonds as Brothers. Those moments of shared purpose and camaraderie are worth holding on to. As we look ahead, let us do so intentionally, allowing our concerns to be carried away with the wind while we remain focused on opportunity and progress.
I am deeply grateful for the Brothers who continue to rise to the occasion. Our Board is strong and deliberately positioning the chapter for its next era, while our chairmen persist in driving our activities into positive, productive spaces. Together, this leadership continues to elevate Mu Lambda to new heights.
I look forward to the latter half of the year being marked by valuable fellowship opportunities, including our 94th Eastern Regional Convention in April. Personally, I am also preparing to close my three-year term as Chapter President while completing my Executive M.B.A. at Howard University in May—milestones that underscore a season of transition and gratitude.
Before we arrive at those moments, however, let us take time to enjoy the crisp air of January, to plan with intention, and to prepare for a remarkable year ahead.
Thank you for your continued commitment, engagement, and Brotherhood.
Fraternally,
Brother Mikael E. LaRoche,
(10-Mu Lambda-13)
