Integrity Beauty Women of Excellence is dedicated to Helen L. Albert who became the first African American Registered Nurse in Trumbull County, Ohio in 1944. The Executive Director/Founder (Roberta Cykon) has made a promise to Ms. Albert that she would continue on Ms. Albert’s message of loving, caring and sharing, truth and justice for all mankind. Ms. Albert was the true “Integrity Beauty”.
Ms. Albert promoted peace, love and kindness to everyone she was around regardless of their race, creed or belief. Ms. Albert represented what are women doing to serve Jesus Christ, how can women make a difference and heal a hurting world. She was determined to change lives one person at a time. Ms. Albert was on a mission to do all she could to make a difference and heal the hearts and inspire the lives of those in need. The sash and crown that each woman wears are a representation of Ms. Albert's message.

Albert was presented the Elite Queen Award one month before she went home to be with Jesus.

Ms. Albert was the visionary of the Integrity Beauty Women of Excellence program and entrusts Integrity Beauty Women of Excellence program to continue on the legacy that Ms. Albert created.
"IB has been a great experience, during my year of reign I have used my title to go out and make appearances with my local Kiwanis club. It has given me the opportunity to meet new people and gain new experiences. I have had so much fun being an IB title holder, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to better themselves through pageantry."
