• State organization presidents are receiving an informative

email from me each month with updates and news. If you
serve in this role and have not received an email in September and October, please let me know. Feel free to
forward the emails to chapter presidents and members as appropriate.
• We hope chapter presidents are enjoying the new video format for the Presidents’ Page! I am so very proud of
all who are involved in producing these awesome videos, from our staff stars to the international president! If
you are a chapter president, you should be receiving the video via an email link, so please feel free to forward
the link to your members ... and let me know if you are not receiving the email.

• You may already know summer conferences are now international events that are held in three different sites.
So, the choice is yours! Plan to attend the one you find the most appealing — or attend them all! Check out
the DKG website for more details on the conferences, which will be held in July 2023 in Detroit (Michigan),
Phoenix (Arizona), and Tampere (Finland).
To sum it up: Join us in November or December (or both!) for Inside International as a great time of network-
ing and sharing; be attentive to and forward resources shared from Headquarters; and plan now to attend an
international conference in 2023!
