Welcome Japan

On October 14, 2012, Japan joins DKG as the 18th country to become a member. Sixty-two women in Kocki, Japan, will be installed and initiated by the international president, Dr. Beverly Helms. What an exciting time for members of Delta Kappa Gamma as we broaden the reach of "Leading Women Educators, Impacting Education Worldwide."

Non-profits and associations from all areas are losing members in today's fast-paced, busy world. But here we have women eager to join with twelve founders who plan to continue the growth of the newest state organization. Each member of DKG should be inspired to recapture members who have left and find new ones. Many chapters have initiation during the fall of the year. My chapter added eight members October 1. Membership surveys are showing us that many members will return if we just ask. Who might you be able to ask? How will you plan to keep members active and interested?
