             •  What is the main responsibility of the DKGIEF Board of Directors?
                   The DKGIEF board of directors are stewards of the following funds for the purposes of
                   fundraising, investment and donor management, and distribution of funds:  Scholarship,
                   World Fellowship, International Speakers, Emergency, Eunah Temple Holden, Golden
                   Gift, Educational Projects, and Cornetet. In addition, the board determines recipients of the
                   Educational Projects and Cornetet Awards.
             •  What type of board is DKGIEF?
                   DKGIEF is a nonprofit, working board,
                   which means it must perform its fiduciary and
                   strategic duties (the big picture) as well as fulfill
                   management and technical functions (boots on
                   the ground). This translates to a time and energy
                   commitment for each director.
             •  When does the board meet?
                   The board of directors, at the present time,
                   meets twice a year in Austin, Texas, and the
                   morning after the conclusion of the DKG
                   International Convention in even-numbered
                   years. In between meetings, the work of the
                   board is done through its committees by virtual
                   meetings such as via Zoom and email.
