Would you like to travel to other countries? Do you like to share ideas, research, or experiences with other educators? The DKGIEF International Speakers Fund (ISF) provides speakers for state organization conventions, conferences, or meetings. Take advantage of this leadership opportunity by applying to be a DKG International Speaker.

The time to apply is here! The ISF Speaker application is available from July 1 to September 15 under MyDKG on the Society website. (You must be logged in.) Then select Apply/Submit, click on the ISF Speaker application link, and you will be directed to the ISF Google Form.

Here are some important tips to remember when completing the ISF application:

·     Inform your chapter and state organization presidents of your plan to apply to be an ISF speaker.

The DKGIEF International Speakers Fund, one of nine funds administered by the Foundation, is supported by member donations. Your contributions to the International Speakers Fund cover the speakers' international transportation expenses to face-to-face state organization events. Contributions can be made to the ISF Fund on the International Speakers Fund page, or go to the DKGIEF Donate page for various donation options.
