Europe Regional Conference Meets in Amsterdam

From canal cruises to workshops, the members who attended the Europe Regional Conference in

Amsterdam enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship, fun and professional growth.  Sessions were filled with speakers from around the globe and workshops included topics from Society business and membership challenges to educational issues and global change.  We even learned how to utilize YouTube in the classroom and enjoyed a panel discussion on the topic. How delightful to experience DKG in so many different languages and from so many varied perspectives!  As if the events of the conference would not be enough, the warm smiles and friendly spirits of the Europe members will draw me back again and again. 

We are home now and back in the office.  So, I look forward to hearing from all of you who promised that now you will call or email!  If I do not see you along the way, I hope to see you next summer in Indianapolis.  Start planning now!

Northwest Members Enjoy Cheyenne

The Northwest Regional Conference provided a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the flavor of Cheyenne, Wyoming, without ever leaving the conference. In addition to exciting speakers, great workshops, delicious meals and a "starlight chat" with Society administrators, the conference

included the colors and culture of the local area. We enjoyed visits with the Mayor of Cheyenne, the Governor of Wyoming, and  the Cheyenne Trotters. With the Denim and Diamonds theme for the Celebration Luncheon, we even enjoyed a chance to dress the part! Although I was not able to pack my boots (not enough room in my suitcase this time), I certainly enjoyed the beauty of the location and the warmth of the fellowship during our time in the Northwest.

Northeast Regional Conference Attendees Enjoy Portland

During the Northeast Regional Conference in Portland Maine, we enjoyed sea breezes by the bay and the flavors of the state.  Lobster, scallops and prawn were favorites at most meals, bay cruises and shopping downtown kept us busy in the evenings and presenters challenged us to explore new possibilities during workshops and general sessions. 

As a guest at the Canadian Forum, I not only enjoyed their hospitality but also learned much about the educational issues in Canada. Provincial presidents shared their goals for the biennium and members reported on the activities of the forum during the past year.

What a lovely week in Maine!  If I have not seen you along the way, there is still time to join us this summer in the Northwest and Europe!
