Surveys and Angels

Just enjoyed a wonderful Texas State Convention and was installed as a member of the State Nominations Committee.
International Representative and President, Dr. Barbara Day, shared her vision and initiatives for the future with those attending in Amarillo. Speaking about our president’s award from UNICEF, our philanthropic efforts, and leadership training efforts, she drew load applause when she shared recent survey results.
Armed with summaries from Tennessee and Texas, she noted both states had the same top seven items of interest in educational importance. It was no surprise that teachers wanted equitable pay and respect from their communities. Results from all the survey compilations will be shared by the Research Committee later this summer.
Dr. Day also shared the legend of the Sewanee, TN, angels. See www.sewanee.edu.

Getting Started


Your notes of congratulation have been encouraging and heartwarming. Thank you! (Photo at left is me in New Orleans.)
We have a busy summer ahead with five regional conferences, full of seminars and workshops to share information. Not all sessions with deal with Society business. Strands of emphasis range from World Issues to Personal Growth. General sessions do not include business meetings and entertainment selections look great. Regional Directors have also found some of the best speakers to inspire, educate, and entertain you. Leadership sessions for incoming state organization presidents, executive secretaries, Program of Work chairmen, membership chairmen, editors and treasurers have been "in the works" for some time. The preparations are expertly done. Delivery promises to be terrific. Wonderful experiences, sights and friendships await you at our regional conferences. Register now! http://www.deltakappagamma.net
