In 1964, the eight founders of Top Ladies of Distinction (TLOD) Inc.’s primary objective was to help alleviate the moral and social problems engulfing the youth in our communities. This was done via a youth organization. In 1968, while meeting in Fort Worth, Texas, the membership of Top Ladies of Distinction, Inc. decided that the group should have an official name. Lady Cordelia Mackey, President of the Texarkana Twin City Chapter, suggested the name of Top Teens of America. The name was adopted.

In 1969, there was a need to form a Top Teens of America group in each chapter of Top Ladies of Distinction. A committee was appointed and resultantly, the first National Top Teens of America convention was organized.

On February 21, 2009, the Dale City – Prince William County Chapter of Top Ladies of Distinction, Inc., inducted 15 Top Teens of America into their chapter. Lady Sandra Clark the chapter’s first president, Lady Dolores H. Chriss, former National Area II Director, and Lady Madeline Newton, former National TTA Director along with other Top Ladies attended the Induction Ceremonies. The induction ceremony was held at the McCoart Building in Woodbridge, Virginia.

The newly inductees were:

Teen Travis Battle, Teen Miles Conquest, Teen Breana Durrah,Teen Brianna Freeman, Teen Zavia Hammond, Teen Ashley Jefferson, Teen Ashley Johnson, Teen Alexandria Moorman, Teen Janay Nutter, Teen Valerie Omile, Teen Timothy Richardson, Jr., Teen Alexis Simpson, Teen Breh Stevens-Mitchell, Teen Simone Stringfield, Teen Aaliyah Wilson

Since then our chapter has inducted over 300 teens and invested in over 10,000 hours of community service into programs and projects.
