DKG Welcomes our International Guest
Lyn Babb Schmid, Ed.D.
DKG International President 2014-2016
International Achievement Award Honoree 2017
We are excited to announce that Dr. Lyn Babb Schmid will be our guest from International at the 2024 DKGNJ Convention. Lyn Schmid is an educator that has a passion for people. She started out in her freshman year at Auburn University to be an architect. But her Freshman advisor pointed out that her small, rural High School in Roanoke, Alabama only allowed the girls to take Home Economics, not the requisite Mechanical Drawing that the boys were directed to study. That glass ceiling experience led the way for Lyn to embark upon a career in education. And she agrees that developing her passion for people, rather than buildings, has been a rewarding choice.
After receiving her Bachelor’s Degree at Auburn, Lyn earned a Master’s Degree at Millersville University of Pennsylvania. Her Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies was conferred at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA.
Lyn has taught Secondary English, been a Secondary and Elementary Reading Specialist, a Reading Supervisor, and retired as an Elementary Principal. After 35 years of service in public education, her most recent position was serving as a National Assessment of Educational Progress assessor for the US Department of Education. She was the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International President for 2014-2016 and received the International Achievement Award in 2017.
Lyn loves to watch College Football and Basketball. She has been widowed since 2004 and loves spending time with her friends, and her two big brothers. Discussing books, movies, and women in leadership over a fabulous meal with a glass of wine is her idea of a great time.
Lyn is positive, reflective, and an enthusiastic leader. She loves humor and its power to change attitudes. As a DKG Past International President and Executive Board member, she believes that the Society is truly moving forward and will emerge as a stronger organization in its current technological evolution. Lyn wants us all to hold fast to our heritage, be creative with our future to realize our purposes, and launch Delta Kappa
