The Beta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma is guided by the mission and vision of our international organization. They read:
Mission Statement
The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International promotes professional and personal growth of women educators and excellence in education.
Vision Statement
Leading Women Educators
Impacting Education Worldwide
In March we started talking about the possibility of using our mission and vision to focus our programming, service, and fundraising efforts. There were two reasons for that: 1) Our money and time could go in one direction and make a bigger impact on a single cause, and 2) It would be easier and clearer when explaining our purpose to potential new members.
The members of Beta have spent the last two meetings brainstorming and analyzing how we might accomplish this task. After following the steps of the creative problem solving process, we decided that we will emphasize the worldwide aspect of the vision statement. For 2017-18, we will be focusing our service projects, fundraising, and programming on international educational causes and needs. Since Fargo Moorhead has many new Americans who have come from all of over the world, we’ll use the various cultural diversity groups and educational programs to research needs, possible services, and programs. We will also emphasize and support the global projects of DKG. Our goal will be to coordinate with what is already being done and then support, improve, and if necessary, propose a new avenue. Programming and activities for 2017-18 will be related to impacting education worldwide.
