Do you have a drawer in your home that is the “catch all”
for batteries, buttons, bills (paid and unpaid) and various items that have no
home to speak of? Do you consciously avoid opening this drawer? Do you put off reorganizing that drawer knowing
full well that you need to eliminate antiquated, non-functional items stored
there?
The Constitution
and International Standing Rules house
items similar to the “catch all” drawer in our homes. Since September committees
and members have been giving a “close” read to our governing documents. They
have located excess information and have proposed changes that will streamline
and reorganize the contents. They have considered simplifying committee names
while modernizing the makeup and function of committees and boards. Some
proposals have recognized that several items are best housed in DKG
publications other than the Constitution.
Others have eliminated components no longer needed due to technological venues that
are in place.
EVERY DKG member has the opportunity to propose changes this
biennium. Your proposal may result in promoting more use of the governing
documents by more members at all levels of the Society. There is no better
feeling than getting everything in order and functioning to an optimal degree.
By proposing amendments to the Constitution Committee you are helping DKG put
its house in order, one drawer at a time.
