Communications & Marketing

but celebrated. It is hard to believe that a tragedy such as the pandemic resulted in even more ways to
connect with each other! Members can celebrate their personal and professional growth in a variety of
ways while promoting an authentic spiritual fellowship. By having more ways to connect, communicate,
and collaborate with educators in many different chapters, state organizations, and countries, we can
share and increase our understanding of economic, political, social, and educational issues impacting all
educators. These new forms of electronic media also enable greater connection with potential members
who may find the discussions on these topics engaging and relevant.
As DKG returns to a more traditional, in-person experience in many areas, there are still a hundred
thousand things to see. Together, members grow more confident and can meet challenges that have been
placed in their paths. Members, chapters, and state organizations are now able to gather and grow together.
DKG is making a difference as members marvel at the successes of our active educators and come to realize
how important the relationships are in our DKG family. Helping potential members see this connection
and dedication helps the whole Society flourish. A whole new world (every turn a surprise). With new
horizons to pursue.
Now it is time to extend a hand to others and invite more educators to join this magic carpet ride on
a DKG Journey for a Lifetime. Members old and new should take a moment to reflect on their personal
and professional growth since joining Delta Kappa Gamma. Be mindful of the ways that this journey has
helped create opportunities to connect, communicate, and grow within the organization. Then, share these
feelings and experiences with colleagues who may benefit from a strong professional network.
The International Communications and Marketing Committee encourages each Society member to
take the next step in sharing the benefits of DKG membership with fellow educators. Become a more active
chapter member, seek a chapter office, or look toward state organization and international leadership to
help those around you see all DKG has to offer. When members become more active, they enable DKG to
have a stronger impact in their communities, which encourages further growth of the organization.

That’s where we’ll be. A thrilling chase. A wonderous place for you and for me.
