This is an Alpha Kappa Alpha conference name tag belonging to Etta Moten Barnett. It consists of a paper card inside a plastic sleeve. The paper card has black text across the top margin that reads “ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INC. / 56th Central Regional Conference / Evansville, Indiana April 9-12, 1992.” In the center of the card is large black text that reads “ETTA MOTEN BARNETT / THETA OMEGA.” On the proper left side of the card is a hexagonal logo divided into six sections.
