'Tis the Season...


What a wonderful time of year this is!  Though the holidays we celebrate may vary around the globe, I think the spirit of the season is the same.  It is a time of year when we focus a little more on family and friends. I am certainly thankful for mine!

I am also thankful and proud to be a member of  The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International.  Have you thought about taking time this season to share the wonder of DKG with other key women educators in your community?  Invite them to join you at a meeting or event.  Plan a special orientation event where several potential members can learn about DKG. Remember, orientation of new members is easy when you use the Pride in the Big Picture presentation.  And the Contemporary Initiation Ceremony available in the new Ceremonies book makes a nice addition to any meeting! You do not have to wait for a special meeting to initiate new members - initiate them when they are ready to join.



Membership in DKG is an honor and an opportunity for growth, personally and professionally. During this season of giving, share with other key women the gift of membership - in doing so, you are leading women educators impacting education worldwide.

WOW!

The International Educational Excellence Committee (EEC) met in Austin last month and created a new acronym describing not only the committee members themselves but also the Society members they represent:  W.O.W. (Wonderful Outstanding Women)!

These wonderful women have developed three primary goals which encompass the work of the EEC and I think you will find them exciting:
  • To advance excellence in education
  • To empower women
  • To increase global awareness
Within these goals, the work of the committee remains the same.  The two international projects will fall under these goals in addition to the continuing relationship DKG has with the UN.  In addition, our projects, programs and activities to empower women and impact legislation will continue to be developed. 

Look for more information to come from the International Educational Excellence Committee!
