 The Margaret Abel Scholarship was awarded to Rachel Kaczor, a graduate student at Montclair State University, at the DKGNJ convention in April. Rachel was among a group of 15 candidates, and is pursuing her master’s degree in music education. In accepting the award, she spoke of the importance of all students having equal access to quality music education. She teaches private voice and piano lessons, volunteers with community theatre productions, is the music director of her church, and substitutes in various school districts. Rachel will truly be an asset in any future educational environment.
A special thank you to the Chairs of the Scholarship Committee, Wilhelmina Bryant and Susan Relles and the scholarship committee members for their hard work in selecting a recipient.  Welcome to DKGNJ

In general, owners of creative content are growing increasingly intolerant regarding the misuse of intellectual property. As a result, recent incidents related to such misuse by entities at various levels within our organization have resulted in both actualized and potential liabilities to the Society. Therefore, the Administrative Board and counsel have approved the placement of a notice on DKG affiliated internet sites (including social media accounts, such as Facebook) that we hope will defray liability and protect the Society. We want to support the continued use of the DKG name and logo by members, chapters, and state organizations. However, we also cannot and do not wish to monitor the many affiliated sites in order to identify potential liability and risk. Please note the attached disclaimer statement (also provided in Spanish for use by Spanish speaking entities) that we request be posted on any website or social media site that bears the DKG Society International name (including “DKG” or the DKG logo). As state organization presidents, we request that you share this information with your chapter leaders. Thank you for your assistance and understanding as we all work together to protect the Society. Warmly, Nita Nita R Scott, CAE | Executive Director The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International Mail: 12710 Research Blvd. Ste 230 | Austin, TX 78759 512-478-5748 x102 | www.dkg.org

Jean Gray Remembered as a Powerful Leader and Mentor
Warmth and wisdom were the hallmarks of Dr. Jean Gray's service to The Delta Kappa Gamma Society at every level of the organization. Gray, who passed away on April 21, 2019, not only served as international president (2002-2004) and as international parliamentarian (2006-2014) but was also a sounding board and mentor for countless leaders in the Society. A charter member of Omega Chapter in Maryland State Organization and participant in the 1981 Leadership/Management Seminar, she was named recipient of the International Achievement Award in 2001. Those who nominated her for that award noted that her strong spiritual qualities shaped her as a “powerful motivational and inspirational speaker.” Read more on the DKG Society website > Here is the latest from the society
 Hello Sisters,
It’s with great sadness that I share the passing of our Sister, Sharon Long. Sharon passed away Tuesday morning at her home. I received the following information from Jeanne Whalen: Saturday at St. Pisagh Church AME 306 N. Warwick Road Lawnside. Viewing 9-11 and services at 11. No designated charity so people can give to a charity of their choice or flowers. Iota Chapter will be sending monies to one of our Charities in Sharon’s name. Please keep Thelma and Doretha in your prayers. Sharon was the Recording Secretary of Alpha Zeta State during the 2013-2015 biennium. The photograph above is from the luncheon at the 2015 convention. Carol Schwartz Alpha Zeta State President [email protected] (Attachment) As you are aware, there are many controversies facing us today. While we are individually taking stands on these, Delta Kappa Gamma, as a nonprofit, must remain neutral. Therefore, the attached document explains in more detail this neutral position. Please read and pass along to chapters and anyone else in DKG who may need this information.
