Why volunteer for 2020?

Why be a volunteer for the 2020 International Convention in Philadelphia?

Pennsylvania will be joining with New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Columbia to host the 2020 DKG International Convention in Philadelphia July 7-10 at the Downtown Marriott Hotel. We are in the volunteer commitment stage and we have six reasons for you to volunteer for this wonderful event.
​It’s Good For Your Health!  No, we aren’t making this up.  Studies have found that when you stop thinking about your own problems and focus on a project, your stress levels start to decrease, your immune system is strengthened and your overall sense of life satisfaction increases. This is because helping interrupts tension-producing patterns and replaces it with a sense of purpose, positive emotions, and high confidence levels.
 
Give Back to DKG!  Your reason for volunteering should begin where your passions lie.  Let your love of DKG create a positive experience for those attending the 2020 Convention.
 
Make Real Connections!  Volunteering for the 2020 Convention will let you meet people from all the regions and state organizations of DKG.  You could meet your new best friend, future business partner, or have a conversation that sparks a real change in your life.
 
Gain a Whole New Perspective!  Volunteering at the International level will change how you see DKG.  This shift in perspective will open your mind to the scope of the Society.
 
The Food!  The convention hotel is attached by walkway to the Reading Terminal Market.  Beloved by locals and tourists alike, this historic indoor market features more than 80 vendors offering an astonishing variety of food, with some vendors operating in much the same way that they did when the market opened in 1892.The globally inspired food — available for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert as well as for snacking — is the main draw, while butchers, bakers, chocolatiers, cheese mongers and produce vendors offer food, ingredients and goods for sale. From scrapple and samosas to soul food and smoothies, Reading Terminal Market is such a fantastic place to eat that it can be tough to choose what to get. 
Get Inspired in Philadelphia!  Philadelphia has something for everyone and our hotel is close to it all. Historic sites such as Independence Hall, The Liberty Bell, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art (run the Rocky steps!) are just steps from the hotel. The central location also brings easy access to the Barnes Foundation, Kimmel Center, and Franklin Institute.  Also worth visits are:
  • National Constitution Center        
  • National Museum of American Jewish History
  • African American Museum
  • Museum of the American Revolution
  • Fairmount Park
  • Rittenhouse Square
  • Italian Market
  • One Liberty Observation Deck
  • Citizens Bank Park (Home of the Phillies)
  • Franklin D Roosevelt Golf Club
  • Longwood Gardens
  • Valley Forge
New Jersey state organization has developed a Volunteer Response form that is available for you and your chapter members to complete on line.  Responses will be added to a database for easy reference.  Perhaps you have already completed a paper form that was obtained at the 2018 state convention.  Please do additionally complete the Google Form at this link:   goo.gl/gHKUQN This will assure that you are in the database for volunteering at the convention.
