piloted. The leaders met in Atlanta, Georgia, for 2 days of team training; those who
could not attend physically were able to attend and participate virtually. Evaluations and
feedback from the participants indicated it was a very positive and effective training,

organization leaders seek to allow the Society the flexibility to offer separate training
for state organization leaders in the future, while NOT limiting the options for training.

changes is the responsibility of the administrative board and should not require
constitutional change. Another proposal seeks to clarify the process of implementing

materials about her candidacy for publication in the DKG NEWS and on the DKG
