The Ethiopian World Federation Incorporated

The International President of the Ethiopian World Federation, Incorporated Barrymore Tittle recently visited three countries where the organization of seventy one years has membership. In October he visited England where there are two Locals, in London and Birmingham.

In November he visited the Commonwealth of Dominica where there is one local and during December he visited Jamaica, where the organization has four locals. He was accompanied by the International Organizer Lloyd Robinson and the International Chaplain Edna Ravenell.

The purpose of the visits was to meet with the membership, answer some of the many questions the members have, observe the difficulties and promises that are critical to the Organization’s failure or success for the future. There was much enthusiasm expressed by the members in all three countries because no international President had made visits for as long as they can remember.

Some members who were very concerned about the future of the Ethiopian World Federation, Incorporated based on some of the negative publicity that has plagued the organization over the years seemed very pleased that the International Officers are willing and able to do what it takes to inform and update them on the state of the organization.

The International President states, that “These visits to the Locals provided a snapshot on how to implement procedures and policies that will enable the Ethiopian World Federation, Incorporated to fulfil the Aims and Objects of its Constitution and By-Laws”.

Welcome to new Chaplains…….

Although the Constitution of the Ethiopian World Federation Inc states that male and females are eligible for all posts, historically males have been elected to the position of Chaplain.

During the Convention 2008 Elections however, Edna Ravenell of Local No. 2 (Los Angeles) was elected to post of International Chaplain and Everdene Reid of Local No. 17 (Jamaica) was elected to post of Chaplain during the Local’s recent annual elections.
