Leading Women Educators Impacting Education Worldwide
NEWSVol. 76 No. 2 Mar/Apr 2019
1
Something is very new for DKG members! The emphasis of the
upcoming international confer-ences will not be on region—that is, not determined primarily by your place of membership— but by relevance, with your choice determined by your personal or professional passion and priority!
Why the change? Simply put, the new approach comes from members’ interests and needs. In 2017, conference attendees throughout the Society indicated a pref-erence for conferences that were more professional, more education-based, more “theme” related. In 2018, international convention attendees voted to eliminate the word “regional” from references to the conferences held in odd-numbered years. Furthermore, members at the convention generated the themes eventually selected for the conferences!
What is meant, then, by conferences that are more professional, more education-based, more “theme” related? Rather than think of the conferences as Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, and Europe, consider these five themes that will be emphasized at the 2019
conferences…and that may appeal to your personal or professional passion or
priorities: Arts & Humanities; Lead-ership; Technology, Professional
Research and Practices; and Global Awareness.
Essentially, you now have the opportunity to tailor your selection of conference to the theme, dates, and places that
appeal most to you. This issue provides complete information
about registration, hotels, speakers, and other activities. The Events page at
dkg.org also provides links and forms. Come to one! Come to all! The 2019 international
conferences are designed to meet your needs as a key woman educator.
Check out this video on the Events page of dkg.org for information regarding conference choices.
Your Choice! Your Conference!Previously called regional conferences, this year’s five international conferences are not focused on your region but on your choice, your preference, as you choose your 2019 DKG international conference!
See pages 6-20 for more conference information.

Finding Your BlissBy Cathy P. Daugherty, RP2018-2020 International President
Too often we, as women and as educators, put others ahead of our wishes. We relegate those
interests that give us the most joy to the weekend, a va-cation, an early morning/late night escape from chores, or, most sad of all, retirement. We deny ourselves the bliss of experiencing personal joy in the areas in which we have the most interest.
While signing up for “Meet the Block” prizes, convention attendees in 2018 had the chance to list interests to be in-cluded in future DKG events. From that survey of members came the five overarching themes for the 2019 international conferences. Certainly one will ignite your passion, extend your knowledge, and, hopefully, give you bliss.Arts & Humanities International Conference (June 27-29)
Do you identify most readily with the arts and human-ities? If so, you might consider spending time in Asheville, North Carolina, this summer. Here you will explore many aspects of the arts associated with that culturally rich area, known for its artists, craftsmen, musicians, storytell-ers, and authors. Open all of your senses to the richness this area offers through attendance at this conference.Leadership International Conference (July 10-12)
If becoming a better leader—whether in DKG, your community, or an educational setting—makes you smile broadly, you will want to head to Des Moines, Iowa. State organization presidents, executive secretaries, treasurers, and membership chairs have special leadership training opportunities before the conference, but all members will find workshops, takeaways, and general sessions devoted to leadership topics of the highest caliber at this event. This conference could make the difference in attaining the personal and professional goals you’ve set for yourself.Technology International Conference (July 17-20)
Does knowledge of the latest technological innova-tions give you satisfaction? Does learning more about technology to keep up with your children/grandchildren “float your boat”? An answer of “Yes!” to either question
indicates a perfect match with this conference. Learn how the human brain functions beyond what we’ve tradi-tionally considered. Hear how STEM- and STEAM-oriented curriculum models shape the learning environment in 21st-century classrooms. Explore technological possibil-ities in Costa Mesa, California.Professional Research & Practices International Conference (July 25-27)
Do you long to devote time to hearing about current educational research and practices that will enhance your professional aspirations in education? Do you want new ideas to put into practice? Iceland’s conference will provide the inspiration and content you seek. Join professionals in Reykjavik who will report on their studies and educational practices. Find your bliss in an environment conducive to expanding your knowledge at all levels. (Training for incoming state organization officers will also precede this conference.)Global Awareness International Conference (July 30-Aug. 1)
Maybe your interests encompass the entire world. Do you ponder global challenges facing women and children? Do you consider what you can do locally to address such issues as poverty, climate control, or clean water? Do you yearn to address these social and environmental concerns? By attending the conference in Mashantucket, Connecticut, you will meet others exploring these issues. Establish contact with colleagues who are addressing the problems our world faces. Have a global experience at this conference.
Finding your bliss will not be hard this summer! Something to “fill the bill” is available for everyone at one of the 2019 international conferences. You have the opportunity to focus on the most meaningful topic for you personally while having the flexibility to attend workshops and takeaways at each venue that represent Society work and the local setting. Look beyond tradi-tional regional boundaries toward the true global aspect of DKG this summer. Realize your bliss in 2019 at the conference location that fulfills your interest.

DKG and The Girl Scouts Connecting to Build Young Leaders
The Girl Scouts of America is a leadership develop- ment organization for girls in the United States
and American girls living abroad. A collaborative project between two local Girl Scout troops in San Antonio and members in Zeta Beta Chapter (TX) started an initiative that is spreading throughout the Society. DKG Executive Director Nita Scott prepared a curriculum adapted to include activities for all levels of Scouts based on DKG and Girl Scout projects. Through completion of the curriculum, Scouts can earn a council patch developed specifically for the Girl Scouts and available in the DKG Store.
Since the project’s launch in 2014, over 200 requests from troops all across the United States have been answered. Most recently, Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida’s Multi-Level Troop 472 decorated and filled goody bags with classroom supplies for beginning teachers to support DKG’s SEE Project and became familiar with the countries
involved in “Schools For Africa” by doing research using maps and viewing part of the UNICEF video about the project. They researched the lives of Dr. Annie Webb Blanton and of Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts. Two Scouts dressed up as these two founders—complete with hats, gloves, and pearls—and were interviewed by “reporters” from all over the country.
Thanks to Zeta Beta Chapter of Texas for originally reaching out to the Society to develop the Girl Scout Project and to Nita Scott for developing the curriculum.
For additional information on this project, contact DKG Membership Director Trish Woodley at [email protected].
L to R: Tammy Albury, Carol Levin, and Joan Sharperson of Florida’s Pi Chapter present DKG/Girl Scout patches.

Calling All Artists
Holden Fund Committee Inspires Member Growth
Plan Ahead for August Submission
DKG Women are a talented force! Need some artistic inspiration? Visit the DKG Fine Arts
Gallery and spend some time viewing, reading, and watching artists in action. Go to dkg.org, and scroll to the bottom. Look for the Art Gallery icon or type in http://gallery.dkg.org. Enjoy your artistic experience!
Perhaps you are an artist looking to share your inspirational creativity. If so, the Arts and Humanities Jury has a category designed to showcase your particular talent:
• Writing | essay, short story, playwriting, poetry.• Performance Art | dance, dramatics, filmmaking,
music, original composition, oratory.• Visual Arts: 2D | acrylic, charcoal, color pencil,
Graphite, mixed media, oil, pastel, pen and ink, printmaking, watercolor, photography (black and white, color).
• Visual Arts: 3D | basketry, ceramics, jewelry, poetry, quilts, sculpture, textiles, woodcarvings.
Is one category too limiting? A new Multi-Media category allows artists to combine one or more categories. The sky’s the limit! Combine poetry or other writing with photography or 2D art. Combine playwriting or musical composition with a performance video.
Website resources explain the updated rubrics, many featuring definitions to guide you successfully throughout the submission process. August 15 - September 15 will be the next opportunity to submit to the jury. Start working on the inspirational piece you will share with fellow DKG members.
W ith a new name, the Interna-tional Holden Fund Com-
mittee continues the vision of Eunah Temple Holden, whose bequest of almost $100,000 provided the principal for the fund bearing her name.
The Eunah Temple Holden Leader- ship Fund has provided funding for training international leaders, as well as financial assistance for confer-ence and convention speakers over the past few years. In this way, the committee has continued to honor Holden’s legacy, not only by support-ing leadership training but also by inspiring member growth.
The Eunah Temple Holden Leadership Fund offers many diverse opportunities for members and member leaders to grow through
• outstanding women speakers at international conferences;
• excellent nonmember speakers at international conventions;
• financial support for training and orientation of inter- national leaders; and
• financial assistance for seminars.
Visit the Events page on the DKG website to learn about the exciting
speakers members will experience at the 2019 international conferences (www.dkg.org/events) or contribute to the Eunah Temple Holden Leader- ship Fund (www.dkg.org). Your contributions will inspire member growth!

The DKG website now includes a new feature! Members can click on the accessibility widget found at the bottom left of each page. Doing so will offer the option to change the contrast, enlarge or highlight the text, enlarge the cursor, and even have the page read to the viewer. Although the widget cannot read text located within an image or graphic, it can read text that is directly on the web page.

Ask AnnieDear Annie,
During our chapter meeting yester-day, the treasurer was sharing that the dues process is changing. Why? And why do we have to pay dues in June?
—An Inquiring Member
Dear Inquiring Member,Great questions! DKG is moving to
an electronic process that will compute all mathematical calculations to lighten the work for both chapter and state organization treasurers. At the inter- national convention in Austin, members approved an amendment, proposed by the International Finance Committee,
that would align payment of dues with the fiscal year of the organization. In the past, we operated for 6 months on promised dues, which isn’t financially sound. Think of it as writing a check today based on a paycheck you’ll get next week. The amendment offered the option of deferring this change to next year, but members voted to implement it immediately to get our finances in order as soon as possible.
Thank you for paying your dues in June and keeping DKG fiscally sound. We value your membership and all you do for DKG!
During the international confer-ences, DKG’s app will be split into
several sides: the 365 side for everyday DKG content and materials, and the five Events sides that will contain information for each of the international conferences. Each conference “side” will have info about speakers, schedules, sessions, and more that specifically per-tains to that conference. All conference information can be viewed by members and nonmembers alike, but to interact with the conference sides (leave com-ments, message other attendees, build a personalized calendar), you MUST be registered for that conference.
With the conferences drawing nearer, Headquarters is receiving new
and updated event information almost daily. DKG’s app team will be releasing all five conference sides of the app shortly, but until that time, the best place to find information about the international conferences is on the Events page of www.dkg.org.
As recently as last week, an update for DKG’s app was released. If you have auto-updates turned on, then your app should be up-to-date! Otherwise, please go to the app store appropriate for your phone and update the DKG app at your earliest convenience. This will allow you to use new features that will be available on the Events side and will help with technical and software glitches.

Sheila Kay Adams, born and raised in the Sodom Laurel community of Madison County, North Carolina, is a 7th-generation storyteller,
ballad singer, author, and claw-hammer banjo player. She began performing in her early teens.
Adams graduated from Mars Hill College with a degree in edu-cation. She taught for 17 years in the North Carolina public schools before turning to full-time music and storytelling.
She has performed at the National Storytelling Festival in Jones-borough, Tennessee, as well as the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C. She also performs at festivals, events, music camps, and workshops around the country.
Adams has written two books, Come Go Home with Me (1995) and My Old True Love (2004), both of which received critical acclaim. She has also recorded several albums of songs, ballads, and stories and appeared in several movies.
Adams received the 2016 North Carolina Heritage Award and, in 2013, was one of nine to receive the prestigious National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. In a letter supporting her nomination as a NEA Heritage Fellow, George Holt, director of performing arts and film at the North Carolina Museum of Art, wrote, “Sheila Kay Adams is the key figure in carrying forward to this day the tradition of unaccompanied ballad singing that has enriched her community for more than two centuries, promoting its beauty throughout our country and beyond, and ensuring that it will be perpetuated by younger generations of singers well into the 21st century.”

LEADERSHIP DES MOINES, IA | JULY 10-12
Event Page
Every member can be a leader! Attend the Inter- national Conference on Leadership in Des Moines
on Wednesday–Friday, July 10-12, at downtown Embassy Suites. Enhance your own leadership skills at school, in the community, or at chapter, state, and international levels.
Members staying at the conference hotel will enjoy suite-style rooms and a free hot buffet breakfast and happy hour each day. The hotel is located in the heart of the East Village with shops, restaurants, and the state Capitol within walking distance.
State organization presidents, executive secretaries, treasurers, and membership chairs will participate in Leadership Training on Tuesday, July 9–Wednesday, July 10. On Wednesday night, Iowa members will host a Taste of Iowa with fun, traditional Iowa foods. Keynote speaker Susan Leahy will then present an interactive session on Leadership Bootcamp, Part I. Wednesday night is free for everyone but requires checking the Wednesday Iowa Night box (General Session I) on the registration.
Thursday morning will include General Session II with Susan Leahy presenting Leadership Bootcamp, Part II, applying the concepts learned the previous evening. Attendees may then select from a variety of outstanding workshops, led by noted DKG leaders or school instruc-tional coaches who will emphasize leadership skills such as listening, communicating, negotiating, collaborating, and helping others feel welcomed and appreciated. Attending these workshops will be similar to experiencing
a small portion of the DKG Leadership Management Seminar (formerly called Golden Gift). Become a better member by not only becoming a better leader yourself but also by discovering leadership traits in others.
The Thursday luncheon speaker will be Nita Scott, DKG Executive Director. The U.S. and Canadian Forums will follow, along with a chorus practice. That evening, discover one of the many notable food venues by walking to restaurants in the East Village or taking the Embassy
Suites Hotel Shuttle or D Line bus to other sites around the city.
Friday morning begins with General Session III with another motivational speaker, followed by even more workshops and short takeaway sessions. The market-place, with a variety of vendors in the hotel’s lobby area, will be open from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. on Friday. Lunch accommodations should be made separately. At the finale of the conference at
Friday evening’s banquet, the chorus will perform several rousing selections, led by June Bowers from Nebraska. State organization presidents will receive well-deserved recognition, and finally, DKG International President Cathy Daugherty will serve as the keynote speaker, bringing together various elements of leadership skills.
The conference is intended to be an exciting, edu-cational experience that will enhance each attendee’s leadership talents. Be a leader in bringing other mem-bers. Come to Des Moines!

Professor Katie Salen Tekinbaş works at the intersection of games, design, and learning, bridging the gap between academia
and industry to create practical, real-world platforms that better ed-ucate and empower the next generation. “I’m trying to figure out how you develop really engaging learning experiences for young people that are centered around their interests.” For the past decade, Salen Tekinbaş has been working with educators to bring core principles of game design, play, and connected learning to school curricula and informal learning activities because, as she explains, “people learn best when they can work on something that they care about, with the support of others who have a shared interest.”
With UCI colleague Mimi Ito, Salen Tekinbaş started the nonprofit Connected Camps, which runs hands-on online camps and courses in Minecraft to promote creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration. She hopes to expand the camps to support not only STEM activities such as coding and engineering but also socio-emotional learning. She’s working to embed the teaching of soft skills, such as mindfulness, into online communities like Minecraft. “We talk about it as ‘raising good gamers’ by helping kids develop skills in conflict resolution, peer mediation, problem solving, independent learning, and mentorship.”
Salen Tekinbaş also teamed up with other informatics professors on a project sponsored by the Samueli Foundation to launch an Orange County high school esports league focused on the game League of Legends. “There are lots of kids interested in video games, so this validates their interests and creates a platform for helping youth develop positive approaches to gaming online,” she says. Attached to the league is a pilot program for a year-long course on esports entrepreneurship, which will explore STEM topics through the lens of esports broadcasting, web development, IT support, streaming, marketing, and merchandising, exposing students to game-related career opportunities.

GLOBAL AWARENESS MASHANTUCKET, CT | JULY 30- AUG. 1Mark your calendars for July 30 - August 1 for
the Global Awareness International Conference being held in Mashantucket, Connecticut. The beautiful Foxwoods Resort and Casino will provide a fantastic setting for this conference. After experiencing the convention center, the restaurants, shopping, and the spa, consider extending your time in New England!
Tuesday night’s first general session will recognize women making a difference in today’s global society. You will “meet” Prudence Crandall, a teacher and Connecticut state heroine. In addition, you will go back in time and experience the Flamingo Big Band, a 15-piece, all-female band who will have you up and dancing with music from the swing era, as well as rock ‘n roll, pop tunes, and rhythm and blues.
A highlight of the conference will be the opportunity to learn about the United Nations’ Sustainable Develop-ment Goals (SDGs). DKG@UN members will share a brief history of the goals, and several Global Goals will be introduced at each general session. At a Lunch and Learn opportunity on Thursday, a panel, presented in United Nations’ format, will discuss the final two goals, Peace and Partnerships. Representatives from the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Civil Society, business, and government will all work in partnership on this panel! We are hoping these panelists will also be available later in the afternoon for further exploration into their roles. Be sure to look at http://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/sustainable-development-goals.html to become familiar with the goals of this panel.
The Global Awareness theme will be evident through-out the three days of the conference. Participants will be able to view children’s artwork that depicts the meaning of peace. The usual workshop sessions and takeaways will entice attendees to learn more about global aware-ness, as well as Society business, personal enrichment, and activism.
The Global Awareness - DKG Impacting Education Worldwide Luncheon on Wednesday, July 31, will include International President Cathy Daugherty’s remarks, a survey of members in attendance, and numerous award presentations.
Want to do something different on Wednesday night and benefit a DKG Fund? Be sure to attend Bingo Night, where proceeds will benefit DKG’s Emergency Fund. You have a chance to win “big bucks” as well as help out DKG members in a time of need.
Thursday offers an action-packed educational day. It begins with the Global Awareness of Cultures Breakfast with a speaker and dancer from the Pequots. The market-place will be open all day featuring local and DKG merch- andise. Both the Canadian and U.S. forums will discuss pertinent issues with the theme of global awareness.
Global Awareness Through Our Partnerships is the theme of Thursday’s banquet. The chorus will entertain (be sure to fill out the interest form that is located at link) and a speaker from UNICEF USA will bring attendees up-to-date on their programs and relationships to DKG.
Connecticut State Organization members are excited to welcome DKG members from the 17 member countries. This conference is the last of the five 2019 international conferences. Be sure to attend to renew old acquaintances and make new friends.

Preconference Seminars
At the second session of the International Global Awareness Conference on Wednesday, July 31, Marion Blumenthal Lazan
will be inducted as an international honorary member. Lazan’s mission is to educate the world to the importance of respect, tolerance, and acceptance of all people. Her personal story of experiences in concentration camps during World War II will surely be a high point of our conference. Lazan is not the usual educator who works with children or adults in a school setting. Rather, she considers any place in the world as a potential classroom as long as there is a gathering of willing listeners to hear her message. Through the art of storytelling, she presents her messages of respect, tolerance, acceptance, perseverance, and hope, which, according to hundreds of testimonials, have transformed people’s lives. The story used to convey these messages is Lazan’s own family story of incarceration, liberation, and survival from six and a half years in concentration camps during the World War II Holocaust.
Lazan has spoken to well over a million people since 1979. She is always accompanied by Nathaniel, her husband of over 60 years, who is her official photographer. The facts of her life have been documented in the book, Four Perfect Pebbles: A HOLOCAUST STORY
by Lila Perl and Marion Blumenthal Lazan, now in its 29th printing and available in five languages. Interested members may visit her website www.fourperfectpebbles.com.
Very exciting music is planned for the Global Awareness Conference in Mashantucket, Connect-
icut! Chorus members will be getting CDs for individual preparation so that the musical nuances may be practiced at rehearsals instead of learning the notes from scratch. If you are interested in joining the Global Awareness Chorus and/or playing your instrument in Mashantucket from July 30-August 1, 2019, complete the form below.

Nuevo León State Organization members became aware that even though they had a legal personality,
they needed to operate in a different way according to changes in tax laws, so they put their resources to work to resolve the situation.
After more than a year of dealing with lawyers, accountants, and fiscal policy experts, they located a community foundation with which they could work. This foundation serves as a platform for the social develop- ment of the region, mobilizing resources aimed at different causes and seeking the best performance and the greatest social impact through advice and guidance to social investors.
Under the umbrella of this community foundation called COMUNIDAR, Delta Kappa Gamma Nuevo Leon is now officially constituted as a Social Investor Organ- ization, getting all the necessary guidance from COMUNIDAR to respond to the IRS and becoming a legal entity that is an authorized grantee under the terms of the Mexican Income Tax Law.
COMUNIDAR ensures DKG Nuevo León complies with the Purposes of the Society, including providing scholar-ships, and delivers the requested reports of information
required for monitoring the application of any donation.Some of the benefits Nuevo León receives from
COMUNIDAR are:• Data protection, because COMUNIDAR receives
the donor’s information and complies with the measures to be taken for the prevention of money laundering.
• Increase in social impact, through linkage with other foundations.
• Enabling of reception of tax-deductible national or international donations.
• Monitoring and documenting of results of the resources delivered.
• Compliance with the framework that governs the social sector and the establishment of policies and processes.
Congratulations to Nuevo Leon State Organization. Formalizing its legal status has been a great way to celebrate a 40th anniversary!
Reminder to all of the Panama Latin America
