Welcome to the Montgomery County Maryland Chapter of The Society, Incorporated.

​

In 1983, a group of visionary women established The Society, Incorporated in Washington, D.C. with a singular commitment: to expose, nurture, and promote youth in the arts while fostering friendship and service. A decade later, in 1993, our chapter was chartered as the proud fifth chapter in national history.

​

For over three decades, our chapter has cultivated vibrant environments and essential resources for emerging young talent across Montgomery County. We are deeply grateful for our community partners—including NAACP ACT-SO, Princess Mhoon Dance Institute, Blake High School, the Montgomery County Association of Black School Educators (MCABSE), and BlackRock Center for the Arts—whose shared dedication amplifies our impact and keeps the arts thriving.

​

Through signature initiatives like our Youth in the Arts Showcase, we illuminate remarkable young voices. Our stages have celebrated phenomenal talent, from singer and two-time America’s Got Talent contestant Kelvin Dukes to our very own Lady Dana Joi-Morgan, an accomplished concert pianist and dedicated chapter member. Alongside local and national scholarships, we actively invest in students pursuing higher education and enduring careers across the arts.

​

We invite you to partner with us, attend our upcoming events, and invest in the next generation of creative leaders. Together, we can ensure that artistic excellence continues to inspire and uplift our entire community.

 

Warmly,

Shani M. Waugh

President, Montgomery County MD Chapter
