President’s Message
The April Convention was very successful as a hybrid. We did observe smiles, hugs, and happiness from those finally meeting in person. Thank you again to everyone who participated. We are planning to see many more of you September 17-18, 2021. When I began my biennium, I announced a theme about CHANGE. However, I envisioned a slow change in the next several years to create a more meaningful organization for each member. I was not expecting a change four weeks before our fall meeting date. But, here we are. We find ourselves at a crossroad with offering a face-to-face only (my hope) or hybrid meeting. After discussing pros and cons, a hybrid meeting will be held for the Fall Executive Board Meeting on September 17-18, 2021. Because we are concerned for the safety of all members, even though we need members in person, we do not want to exclude those unable to attend. The Zooming of the meeting is for those of you who have Covid, have family members with Covid or have a compromised immune system. The bottom line is that we signed contract and must have in-person participation to satisfy the conditions of our contract. The number of meeting rooms allocated is based on the number of guest rooms we occupy. We cannot afford to pay expenses unless you attend. If at all possible, we need you to attend in person The hotel protocol for wearing masks, physical distancing and other safety measures will be followed. Presenting the general session and breakout sessions via Zoom is costly; therefore, those Zooming will pay a $60.00 registration fee. See the registration form below. Please send it to Carolyn ASAP. Deadline is September 1, 2021. For those planning to attend in person, send the reservation form and make your hotel reservation ASAP. We are all key woman educators and love what DKG represents. I know you are professional women who rise to the occasion as needed. We need you now. Some excellent breakout sessions are offered. Many people have been preparing for this event and I encourage you to show your appreciation to them with your attendance. Thank you. See you in September.
