"Facing the Challenges of a New Decade" was the theme of the 52nd Anniversary National Convention of Iota Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc., when the members met in Winston Salem, N.C. August 1981. Headquartered at the Hyatt House Hotel, provocative workshops, forums, seminars, business meetings, committee activities- all commanded the attention of the approximately 800 delegates in attendance. The sessions were presided over by the National President, Dr. Fredda Witherspoon, St. Louis, MO. Besides the members of the Sorority in attendance, subgroup affiliates were also present for their separate sessions; these were the Iota Pelatis Auxiliary and the Iota Lambda Auxiliary. 

The opening program, always an educational session, was chaired by Mrs. E. Grace Payne, Director of Education, Los Angeles, CA. Guest Speakers was Mrs. Mylie Evers Williams, Director of Community Affairs, Atlantic Richfield Company. Substantial donations to the sorority's Educational Fund were made by Anheuser-Busch Corporation through Henry H. Brown, St. Louis, and Monsanto Corporation, St. Louis, through William S. McEwen.
