It is Friday of the last full week in June. Everyone at headquarters is busy getting items ready for the five regional conferences. Materials are being printed and boxes packed. In fact Federal Express was here yesterday to pick up many, many boxes that are being shipped to Reno for the Southwest Conference. In previous regional conferences years, I have been on the receiving end of all the boxes. I would just go to the properties room and pick up the box of materials for my committee or project. Now, I realize how much work actually goes into preparing the materials for us to use. The staff does a terrific job at this. And they make sure that the boxes are not too heavy for us to lift. Because hotels charge for deliveries and storage, the boxes need to arrive at each location at just the right time. They have it down to a science.
Some brand new membership materials, hot off the press, will be showcased at each region. They are fresh, sharp and classy looking....just like all of our Delta Kappa Gamma members. There is one to use with prospective members whom you want to invite to membership. The other one is to be given to members who have recently joined or whom you wish to re-energize. They both list the honor and benefits of membership. Your state presidents and state membership chairs will receive a copy. And they can be ordered for free on the Society website.
The Expansion Committee is working to install a new state organization in Panama this fall. Be watching for more information about this.
I hope to visit with many of you across our organization this summer. Please come up to me and tell me about yourself and your visions for the Society. I want to get to know you.
My next job is to figure out how to pack all of the notebooks and folders needed for leadership training and still have room for enough clothes for five weeks on the road.....or in the air. I look forward to seeing you in Reno, Little Rock, Burlington, Portland, and Oslo.
