From BOARD. p.16
• Additional Notations

º Cancellation Fee: $40 processing fee. Refunds require a written request that is electronically date
stamped or postmarked by 11:59 PM ET on June 27. No Refunds after July 12.
º Returned Check Fee: $35.
º No meal tickets will be sold after 11:59 PM ET on June 27.
Context: The DKG Constitution mandates in Article VII Section A.1.b (12) that the Administrative Board “de-
termine registration fees for international conferences and for international conventions.”
14. Approved the 2022 Virtual Event (date to be determined) registration fees:
• Complimentary registration with (included in) full 2022 International Convention Member or Collegiate Regis-
tration Fee or Combined Registration Fee for in-person convention (not included in one- or two-day registration).

• Virtual Event registration only:
º Member Fee $100
º Collegiate Member Fee $50
All registrants for the virtual event will have access for on-demand viewing until June 30, 2023.
Context: Although not a conference or convention, it is comprised solely of videos of the convention activi-
ties, and it is an international event. Thus, based on the mandates of the Constitution cited above, it would be
most appropriate for the Administrative Board to determine the fees for this virtual event to be held following

convention on a date that is yet to be determined.
More ISF Speakers Requested by State

Organizations

eeting a 2020–2022 DKG Strategic Plan goal, the International Speakers Fund (ISF) Committee has
Mrecorded an increase in the number of state organizations requesting an ISF speaker — from four in
November 2020 to nine in November 2021. In other good news, state organizations will have 19 ISF speakers
from whom to select, including 3 returning speakers and 6 new ones.

Speakers from Latin America, Europe, and the United States promote the Society’s globalization as members
from all regions have an equal opportunity to apply for this role. In addition, the committee hopes that the
background diversity of the speakers will motivate members from different countries to pursue this special op-
portunity. ISF speakers energize the audience, support themes of state organization meetings, spur new ideas,
and provide expertise in content about which they are passionate.
ISF supports in-person and virtual presentations, including those at hybrid events. Each ISF speaker’s visit is
unique. The state organization leaders and the ISF speaker plan together how she can best serve the members of

the state that invited her. Travel expenses are covered by the ISF; the host state, province, or country provides meals
and accommodations.
The ISF Committee encourages DKG members to apply to become an international speaker when the appli-
cation portal opens on July 1, 2022, with a deadline of September 15. The next deadline for state organization
presidents to apply to host an ISF speaker for a state organization event is May 1, 2022.
For more information about the 2022 ISF speakers and the host state organizations selected, see the ISF DKGSI
Blog on the website.
