Resources on the International Website

Membership resources are located on the International website (www.dkg.org) to provide information to membership chairs, chapters and individual members.  These resources can be used at chapter meeting or when doing orientations for new members.

What membership resources are located under the Resources tab?

Under Resources go to the Membership tab and you will find:

Membership Training:  Information about being the membership chair and attracting new members is listed in this section.

Membership Plan:  A plan with explicit instructions and forms telling how chapters have been successful in having a group of prospective members join DKG is included. 

New Members:  A new member kit is available which can be downloaded for free.  Many reorientation videos that can be shown at chapter meetings are included here.  The Pride in the Picture PowerPoint can be downloaded and personalized for chapters to show at orientations for new members.  The Journey for Life brochure to give to prospective members can be downloaded here.

Reinstating Members (Annie Calling):  Annie Calling, a process for reinstating members that have dropped their membership is included here.  This was developed by the Texas State Organization.
