Happy 2009--second try

My fingers move faster than my brain...so the previous post got posted before I was ready to post it. 

Suggested New Year Resolutions for Delta Kappa Gamma Members

*Say YES the next time a chapter member asks you to help with something.

*Make a reservation for your state convention. 

*Read the governing documents (constitution and standing rules).  Think about how you might like to see them updated.  Talk with other members about this.  Send your ideas to the revision committee (revision blog would be a good place to do this)

*Log on to the Delta Kappa Gamma website once a week.  You will be surprised how often it is updated.

*Check out the websites for the five regional conferences.  Attend one and you will experience a whole new level of the Society.  Once you experience an event outside your chapter and state you will be hooked and want to come again. Try it! You will like it!

*Get acquainted with a fairly new educator in your community who has potential for excellence and invite her to membership.  Be her mentor during those first two years of membership.  Check out the "Membership Shoe-In".

Let me know if you choose any of these resolutions.

Happy New Year

Happy 2009

For many of us this is the time we are heading back to school for the spring semester. Or perhaps we are traveling south to a warmer area for a few months. I have spent the month of December in Iowa with my family and lots of snow and cold weather. Soon I will be headed back to Austin as we have lots of activities scheduled for January.

January is also the time to make those resolutions for the new year. You might consider adding one of these to your list.
