The silver jubilee event took place on September 24, 2022, at Martin Crosswinds in Maryland, USA and was attended by notable figures and distinguished guests who traveled from various locations to commemorate this significant milestone with the Ezinne Association.
At the venue adorned with vibrant decorations, members of the association showcased the organization’s blue and white colors in their clothing, while others dressed in stunning ensembles with hints of white and blue.
Several distinguished individuals were recognized during the occasion, including Mrs. Yumi Hogan, the First Lady of the State of Maryland and Special Guest of Honour. Dr. Ngozi Wexler, MD MPH FACOG, Chair of the OB/GYN Department at Medstar Montgomery Medical Centre, served as the keynote speaker, while Dr. Cosmas U. Nwokeafor, Ph.D. chaired the event. The event also welcomed the association’s matrons, Mrs. Sabina Onyekwere (Ihidioranma) and Mrs. Victoria Igbozulike (Appeal Nwanyi).
