As we look toward the future of DKGNJ, it's time to start searching for women who would be interested in serving at the state level.  While we already have a slate of officers for the next biennium, it takes much more than state officers to keep our organization going.  There are two attachments to this post: the first is  a volunteer form that needs to be returned by February 25, 2023 and the second is a description of all state chair positions.  Members may self-nominate and/or nominate someone else.  It would be great to have every chapter represented on a committee at the state level!  

The most frequently asked question is " How much time is involved?"  Not all state chairs have the same time commitment.  Some chairs keep us informed on issues by forwarding emails from International, while others have the majority of their work centered around the state convention.  There are 3 state meetings a year (September, January, June) and the convention in the spring, but not all state chairs are required to attend all state meetings.  We encourage every member to come to the state meetings to see and hear what is going on in the state, whether they are a state chair or not.  Not only that, it's a great way to meet women from other chapters.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me.

With gratitude,
Nora Pollard
DKGNJ President

Blossom Nissman, DKGNJ President from 1989-1991, passed away this past week in Florida.  Many of your chapter members who have been in DKG may fondly remember this remarkable woman.  She maintained her membership in Eta Chapter even after she moved out of state to be closer to her family.
