In the upcoming weeks, state organizations will elect new leaders who will serve for the 2023-2025 biennium. These leaders take on many responsibilities, which require a level of thoughtful and meaningful preparation. A pilot training for state leaders was developed in 2021, and was met with positive reviews. With that in mind, the DKG International Administrative Board has approved a State Organization Leaders Training retreat, which will take place in Irving, Texas.
State organization presidents, treasurers, membership chairs and educational excellence chairs will meet June 23-25 at the Sheraton DFW Airport Hotel. This collective, all in one training, will allow attendees to meet with state officers from around our organization. Training regarding specific offices will take place in addition to critical conversations about strategic planning and moving DKG into our next century.
Planning for this event has been under way for several weeks. Current state organization
presidents have been contacted so that they can serve as liaisons between International and
the incoming officers. Communication with Sarah Sanchez is important so that rooms and
meals are arranged for all who will be in attendance. Meals and lodging are provided and travel
costs are reimbursed following the current travel reimbursement policy. A shuttle from DFW
Airport to the hotel is complimentary. If state organizations have not held their elections,
spaces at the training can still be held, with names of the new officers sent at a later date.
RSVP’s for this training should be sent to
sarahs@dkg.org.
The DKG International Administrative Board, along with the Leadership Development, Finance, Membership & Expansion and Educational Excellence Committees encourage all incoming state officers to attend. The SOLT retreat will be offered as an in person event, without a virtual attendance option. Questions regarding the training can be forwarded to DKG International staff, Administrative Board members or any of the committee members listed above.
