A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT DEBBY CANTER |
Ten Things to Consider for Leadership Conference
There is no state convention this year. We need to conduct business that is usually carried out at a state convention.
This is a new event. Please be patient as we try to create a format that will appeal to all members.
This is saving time and money. By combining executive board and chapter leadership training at one location, we are reducing expenses and time spent traveling.
Training for new chapter officers will help you in your leadership role. The Admin Team will provide you with needed information to assist you in guiding your chapter during your biennium. This is also a great opportunity to ask questions.
There is no charge for the executive board meeting. Those members only attending the 9 am meeting will not be obligated to pay the $7 fee. Note: At the state convention, a registration fee of at least $40 is required for attending part or all of the weekend’s events.
The Executive Board Meeting fulfills the Gold Key requirement. In addition to fulfilling a requirement, there are several motions that will need to be considered.
Time will be provided for team planning. Incoming and outgoing officers will have time to work together to create a plan for the next biennium.
The luncheon cost is actually very reasonable for a hotel event. We realize that you can get a meal somewhere else for less money, but this price includes services and is still less than many other hotels.
Participants will hear about important updates from International. Our DKG International representative is Connie Rensink, member-at-large. She will also lead one of the breakout sessions after lunch.
And finally, ice cream. Enough said!
I hope each of you will consider coming to all or part of this event and enjoy the spirit in which this was intended to provide. Take time for socializing, learning, and enjoying our special sisterhood.
Debby

Now that you have met Darmini and Emma, let’s learn a little more about Indonesia. According to Darmini, “Indonesia has many islands with their diverse cultures. People usually moved from one island to the other to make a better life. My parents are (originally) from Bali and they moved to Sulawesi Island 40 years ago."
According to Britannica.com - the Indonesian archipelago (a group of islands) is a very unusual area. It encompasses a major juncture of Earth’s tectonic plates - the Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. Mount Bromo and Mount Semeru are two active volcanoes in Eastern Java.
Indonesia is an economic and cultural crossroads and is active in numerous trade and security organizations: ASEAN, OPEC, and the UN.
