By the calendar, it is the fall season. The weather in Austin still feels like summer. Regardless of the season, excitement is in the air!
Welcome to the ladies of Japan! Japan State Organization was officially installed on October 14 as the Society's eighteenth country and 80th state organization. We welcome the sixty key women educators in Japan who join DKG as we continue Leading Women Educators Impacting Education Worldwide!
The International Membership Committee met in September and developed some exciting goals for the biennium. The committee will focus on strengthening chapters and promoting the value of membership. They are excited to share with members about the membership resources available to chapters, where to find them and new ways to use them! Remember materials are being revised to include recent changes - from additional countries to revisions in the standing rules - so be sure to download the new Pride in the Big Picture presentation when you are ready to orient those new member candidates! You can find it online on the DKG website in the Library or on the Membership Committee page.
I look forward to meeting with the Educational Excellence Committee at the end of October and then with the Administrative Board in Austin the following week. Society Headquarters will be busy preparing for these meetings, but I always look forward to greeting old friends and making new ones as the meetings convene. How exciting it is to join such amazing women in furthering the goals of this great Society! Follow us on Twitter (#dkgcon) and on the DKG page on Facebook: we will be sharing throughout the meetings and will look for your posts, as well!
