Women In The Workforce
Many of the gains made during the civil rights movement came home to roost in the 1970s as Black women began to enter corporate America in ever-growing numbers . Ivy Leaf ® was quick to showcase their professional accomplishments and greater prominence . Each issue now featured an Employment Opportunities section , and more emphasis was placed on feature articles that would benefit sorors on their way up .
Many of the featured profiles of high-achieving sorors now highlighted leaders in the business world . These included Presidents of corporations and educational institutions . Elected officials in governments and world organizations . Heads of professional societies . Plus well known celebrities including actors , singers and musicians .
As the decade began to close , and as Ivy Leaf ® was well enmeshed into national headquarters , the decision was made to discontinue the role of an elected Editor In Chief in favor of a specialized editorial staff . This policy continues today , with a professional Editor In Chief supported by members of the International Communications Committee and by the Supreme Basileus serving as Editorial Director .

Today , the Ivy Leaf ® is in distinguished company as a magazine of record for the interests , goals and accomplishments of Black American women The circulation is now well over 50,000 issues , and the availability of both digital and microfilm back issues makes Ivy Leaf ® a popular vehicle among researchers and educators .
Some highlights frequently accessed by researchers include the Fall 1978 in-depth discussion of University of California Regents v . Bakke , a touchstone affirmative action lawsuit where the admission standards of the University of California medical school were challenged . A Winter 1975 article by civil rights activist Septima Clark that asked “ Integration : Where Are We Now ?” And a series of issues focusing on President Ronald Reagan ’ s relationship with Black Americans : Winter 1981 , Summer 1982 , Winter 1983 and Summer 1984 .
The education and scientific communities also refer to Ivy Leaf ® as background on Alpha Kappa Alpha ’ s many philanthropic and empowerment programs . Showcase articles on such past programs as the African Village Project
or ON TRACK often serve to help foster new alliances and important initiatives .
While the chapter-specific content will always come first — including program reports , Boulé coverage , soror achievements — Ivy Leaf ’ s feature articles , particularly the in-depth profiles of noteworthy members , are well respected as well as well read . Over the recent decades , Ivy Leaf ® has presented a “ Who ’ s Who ” of past Alpha Kappa Alpha leaders in what often are regarded as definitive interviews in print :
In 1987 at the celebration of Ivy Leaf ’ s 75th anniversary , Soror Green was able to look back at her handiwork . In her words , “ The Ivy Leaf ® to me is like a child I gave birth to and became ma- ture and is of real value not only to the individual sorors , but communities , our people , to America , to the world . The world is better because of AKA and our magazine ; our world , our speech , our communications . This is the voice of Alpha Kappa Alpha .”
