Why is there so much hesitancy to accept leadership roles in DKG? When you were nominated for membership in DKG, it was because someone saw leadership potential in you. If you think of it, as educators you are practicing leadership skills daily in your schools, So, why not use them in a different setting? One of the wonderful things about DKG is how nurturing the members are of each other. Members support their leaders by assisting them in the functions of their chapter/state organization and do not expect their leaders to carry the entire responsibility by themselves. Past leaders in the chapter/state organization are responsible to mentor new leaders and assist them in learning their new roles. You do not have to accept the top post in your chapter/state when first asked but think about at least volunteering for a chapter/state organization committee position until you feel more comfortable in the workings of your group. You can always move up to an officer position when you feel ready! Not only will you develop even more leadership skills in DKG, but you will find that you feel more confident in leading in other areas of your life!
