Invite women teachers to Beta meetings.
Let them see DKG’s professional support network in action.
Verna’s Viewpoint…
All of you are probably as tired as I am of being cold. The below zero temps and wind chills have made January and February seem long. The morning paper reminded me that March is often our most wintery month. I didn’t need to hear that.
The Rules Committee has finished its work. Thank you Jennette, Muriel, and Connie. The Nomination Committee begins their task of seeking leadership for Beta Chapter for the coming biennium.
This prompts me to consider my reasons for accepting various leadership positions:
....flattered to be asked by persons who thought I had talent and ability to offer,
....travel opportunities,
....travel opportunities,
....an interest in the work of the committee or office,
....my turn, or
....no good reason why I couldn’t say yes.
In retrospect, leadership is a challenge and the reward comes from moving the chapter forward and helping members develop and network through programs and projects. I hoped members would be inspired by projects. Chapter business can be dull and routine, but it gives us a solid foundation. Joy comes when members participate enthusiastically.
Please consider answering the leadership call. Working together Beta members fulfill the goals of DKG and embody the best in the educational profession.
