Welcome to the 2021-2023 biennium. My theme for the biennium is “Linking the Past, Present and Future” I want us to remember to honor and celebrate all those women before us – the ones who founded DKG when it had to be done in secret; who lead us through divisive times; who first took the steps into technology; and who helped keep us afloat when we had to dive into the deep end of the virtual world. One of the best ways we can honor those before us is to continue to ensure that NC DKG thrives and continues now and into the future. We must continue to grow in membership but also to grow the leaders of the future. This first year of my biennium I plan to focus on three main areas: Membership Recruit, Retain and Reinstate
Are we being honest with those we recruit that DKG is a working organization?
Are we recognizing when a member might be in a stage of their life that they need to be less active but have more support?
Have we reached out to a member we lost that might be ready to rejoin?
Fellowship Each time we gather we need to celebrate. It is time to renew friendships and make new ones.
Self-Care We each must take the time to care of ourselves physically and mentally.
I look forward to this adventure and ask each of you to join me.
