Communication is key to marketing any new or great idea. We all agree that membership in DKG changes lives, develops women as professionals, and promotes richer learning at all levels. So, spread the word! Find a way to communicate that works best for your chapter and state organization.
California State Organization did. I recently subscribed to the email distribution list the state organization has developed. They are sending to all the subscribers on the list a weekly email that is informative, positive and inspiring. The one I received this week recounted the story of a young educator who received a Cornetet Grant from the DKG Educational Foundation and was so inspired by the experience that she has since joined DKG! Not only will this amazing story inspire members to share the benefits of membership with other women educators, it will also perhaps remind us all about the membership benefits we forget to enjoy ourselves!
Think about the ways that you can best communicate to your community, state organization, members and potential members about DKG. Explore the options. Then, Spread the Word!
Ohio is currently investigating the use of an email distribution list. I'd love to know what issues California may encountered.
