Statement on the Passing of Anita Chappell
As we mourn the loss of our Board Secretary Emerita, Anita J. Chappell, we fondly remember the phenomenal legacy she leaves behind. Her valuable impact on the academic and educational success of hundreds of children, youth and young adults in Philadelphia for several decades is immeasurable.
As the founding director of the Zion P.E.P. Tutorial Institute at the Zion Community Center, Anita honed her managerial and educational leadership acumen. She had a vision for not only teaching the youth in our community, but also training them to be future leaders. As a civic and business leader in the city of Philadelphia, Anita was self-less in her life’s mission to give back to our youth and carry the torch of the late Rev. Dr. Leon H. Sullivan’s mission for community economic empowerment.
