As the Council of Ewe Associations of North America (CEANA) prepares for its highly anticipated 2026 Convention in Maryland , the organization paused this week to honor the women whose leadership, resilience, and nurturing spirit continue to shape its success, the mothers serving on the CEANA Board.
In a warm Mother’s Day tribute, CEANA President William Eedm Kumah praised these women as the “heartbeat” of the organization, noting that their influence reaches far beyond the boardroom. “Your strength, wisdom, and dedication, both at home and in our community, are the foundation upon which this organization stands,” he said. “Today we celebrate you not just as leaders, but as the pillars of our families.”
The timing of this recognition carries special meaning. As delegates from across the United States, Canada, and Ghana prepare to gather in Northern Virginia this May, the contributions of these board mothers have been more essential than ever. Their hands have guided logistics, cultural programming, and fundraising efforts, all while balancing the daily responsibilities of their own households. The upcoming convention, scheduled for September 3, 2026 through September 7, 2026, represents both a homecoming for the Ewe community and the culmination of months of tireless work by these remarkable women.
The tribute underscored that the “remarkable examples of strength and compassion” displayed by these board members are what make CEANA a unique force within the Ghanaian diaspora. By connecting the spirit of Mother’s Day with the spirit of the convention, CEANA highlighted a powerful truth, the same hands that nurture families are the hands building the future of the community.
As the festivities in Fairfax draw near, Sankofaonline joins CEANA in celebrating these extraordinary leaders and wishing them a day filled with the same love and joy they so generously give to others.
