DKG Convention Attendees
Leslie Black, Regina Propst, & Carol Bostian
Nu members Leslie Black, Carol Bostian, and Regina Propst attended the 2024 DKG International Convention in National Harbor, Maryland, on July 8-14, 2024.
Convention events included the opening flag ceremony with flags from the 17 member countries, a fun reception with make-your-own sundaes and roll-the-dice Bingo; multiple general business sessions where attendees discussed and voted on 96 proposed amendments to the DKG Constitution and International Standing Rules; Spotlight Sessions (workshops); luncheon keynote speakers including Margot Lee Shetterly, author of Hidden Figures, and slam poet Andre Bradford; and the Southeast Regional Breakfast honoring the NC Star of the Southeast. The final day of the convention began with an impactful Ceremony of Life, the introduction and installation of the DKG 2024-2026 officers, administrative board, and Finance and Nominations committees, and the celebration Banquet.
One of the favorite events of the convention was the DKG International Educators Foundation fundraiser at Bobby McKeys Dueling Piano Bar. Everyone enjoyed delicious food and lots of fun singing along to the popular songs from the 60s and 70s. It was a great time to meet new friends and enjoy time together.
The next DKG event is the 2025 Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, on July 29-August 2, 2025. It's lots of fun and you have a chance to see more of the DKG big picture as you meet sisters from around the world. Talk to Leslie, Regina, or Carol to learn more.
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!
