Nu Chapter

Nu chapter had three representatives at the 2026 Fall NC DKG Executive Board meeting in Asheboro, NC, on Saturday, September 12. First Vice President Thalia Holman represented the chapter leaders. Leslie Black, Nu parliamentarian and NC DKG first vice president, and Carol Bostian, Nu membership chair and NC DKG membership chair, both presented during the meeting.

The Executive Board meeting included officer, related personnel, and committee reports, and explaining the required revisions to the NC DKG Bylaws and Standing Rules to align with the changes to the DKG Bylaws at the international convention this summer. Nu chapter will introduce changes to the Chapter Rules at the October business meeting.

Leslie Black introduced the NC DKG Tarheel Connections, a new project to promote virtual small group meetings centered on topics of interest to the members. This project will begin in the spring with all NC DKG members being invited to participate in one or more Tarheel Connection groups.

An overview of the new NC DKG "CSI: Chapter Support Initiative" was presented by Carol Bostian, NC DKG Membership/Expansion Committee chair. The focus of CSI is to provide the tools and support that chapters need to be strong and healthy. This initiative includes sharing best practices for strong chapters, establishing a framework for relevant DKG chapters, and a Chapter Triage Toolkit. A detailed CSI presentation will be shared with chapter leaders across the state.

The meeting closed with time for members to network with other chapter leaders. This opportunity was a direct result of member evaluations from the spring convention and the summer Chapter Leaders Training. NC DKG is off to a great new year!
