Nu President's
2024-2026 Theme
Nu President Regina Propst selected "Engaging Members - Empowering Educators" as her theme for the 2024-2026 biennium
Propst outlined three goals for the biennium.
Grow the number of Nu Chapter members. Current members are encouraged to reach out to an educator and invite her to a program, so she can see how DKG impacts education.
Increase support for teachers. Nu members are asked to think about how you can support a working DKG sister by sending an encouraging note or volunteering in a classroom.
Highlight the prestige of being a DKG member. It is an honor to be recognized by someone and asked to join this Society. DKG offers so much to teachers; we all know someone who deserves this honor.
President Propst stated, "I need your help to achieve these goals." We look forward to working with Regina!
Beginning Teacher Support Committee Chair Anne-Marie Hale coordinated breakfast for the Catawba County Schools (CCS) first-year beginning teachers on August 5, 2025. Nu Chapter President Regina Propst, First Vice President Allison Patton, and Membership Chair Carol Bostian assisted with setting up a delicious breakfast of Bojangle's biscuits, Krsipy Kreme doughnuts, muffins, fruit, yogurt, juices, and coffee.
Fred Whalen, CCS Personnel Development Director, welcomed the Nu members and thanked them for providing breakfast. He invited members to share some information about Delta Kappa Gamma (DKG) and Nu Chapter.
Carol Bostian gave a brief overview of the DKG International Society - an honor society for women educators. She also invited the first-year teachers to submit applications for the Phyllis Frye Copeland Endowment grants sponsored by Nu Chapter and other grants sponsored by the North Carolina Educational Foundation.
Regina Prost shared information about Nu Chapter's involvement in Catawba County education and projects to support women and children. Propst invited members to learn more about Nu Chapter by visiting the chapter website.
Nu Chapter will continue to support the Catawba County Schools first-year teachers throughout the 2025-2026 school year.
NC DKG President Janie Webb shared her theme for 2025-2027.
With much thought, I have narrowed the focus of our biennium goals to three and they will include the following:
Implement a NC DKG Leaders Initiative,
Conduct a cost analysis of current fiscal practices and
Incorporate a Chapter Vitality Checkup
By addressing these areas, we will realize the resilience of our organization and its members.
