From ACT p. 9
• Appoint a Visionary Network Ad Hoc committee to develop the logistical support needed and provide

oversight for the Visionary Networks.
ᴏ Implement 10 to 12 Visionary Network groups by early September to capitalize on the enthusiasm
of the pilot groups and planning team, as well as the interest of other members.
ᴏ Include at least one person from the Educational Excellence committee on the Visionary Networks
Ad Hoc Committee with the intention of transitioning oversight to that committee the following
biennium.
ᴏ The DKG Executive Director serves as the committee liaison.
Context of the Action: It is customary for a Board to make recommendations to the Incoming Board.
After discussion, the 2022-2024 Administrative Board determined the following recommendations to the

2024-2026 Administrative Board would promote a continuance of initiatives begun within the context of
the Avenue M project.

2024-2026 Administrative Board Actions

he following are the major actions taken by the 2024-2026 DKG Society International Administrative Board
Tduring its meeting on July 14, 2024, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor,

Maryland, USA.
1. The appointment of Dr. Helen Popovich as 2024-2026 International Parliamentarian was announced.
Context of the Action: The international president appoints a parliamentarian to serve as international
parliamentarian at the beginning of her biennium. (Article VI Section C.1.a.(3) of the Constitution)

2. A motion to invite the Headquarters professional staff to attend regular meetings of the Administrative
Board was approved by consensus.
Context of the Action: The Society Headquarters professional staff (Finance Director, Membership Director,
Technology Director) are not members of the Administrative Board but provide information, resources, and

insight that are valuable to board members during decision making and strategic planning. The invitation
to attend meetings supports this role as well as their work as liaisons to international committees. The
Executive Director serves as an ex-officio member of the Administrative Board and attends all meetings in
her capacity as corporate secretary.

3. A motion to approve the corporate resolutions for signatory authorization for the accounts at Chase
Bank was approved.

Context of the Action: Because two authorized signatures are required for approval on Society checks/
payments, it is the practice of the Society to appoint the current International President, Executive Director,
and Finance Director as signers. Specific resolutions (per U.S. banking regulations and individual bank
requirements) are required, in conjunction with documentation of board approval, in order to remove the
outgoing international president from the accounts and add the incoming international president to the
accounts.
