NC DKG Members, welcome to the 2025-2027 biennium. The theme for our biennium and my message addressing it are simple…Leading with GRIT…Grace, Responsibility, Integrity and Tenacity.

The way has been paved for change within our state organization to meet the needs of our evolving Society. We must continue that change without breaking with our many traditions and continue the mission of guiding our membership to embrace change while continuing to honor our past.

We have Recruited, Retained and Recognized, now let’s take it a step further and LEAD!

When speaking of Grace, we must maintain our courteous goodwill towards each other as we maneuver the obstacles of keeping our organization and sisterhood viable and ever growing.

In reference to responsibility, we need to remember that our responsibilities as members and leaders are the things we must do for this viability and growth to continue.

Next, we must look to integrity which will require us to be honest and keep our membership in a state of being whole and undivided.

We, as members and leaders, must demonstrate tenacity by being determined and continuing to promote our mission, vision and purposes.

And lastly, the overall theme is that of GRIT! We have to show courage and resolve, as well as strength of character to accomplish our goals of leading and growing our membership and Society.

With much thought, I have narrowed the focus of our biennium goals to three and they will include the following:

• Implement a NC DKG Leaders Initiative,

• Conduct a cost analysis of current fiscal practices and

• Incorporate a Chapter Vitality Checkup

By addressing these areas, we will realize the resilience of our organization and its members.

This resilience will be realized through our capacity to withstand difficulties and exhibit the toughness which our Founders demonstrated all those 91 years ago. Let us not let them down! 

We need to become the great leaders which they were and continue to be Leading Women Educators Impacting Education Worldwide.

As our new biennium begins, I wish for you all to step up to the call of leadership with me and let’s lead with GRIT so that we can sustain this organization that means so much to all of us.

Thank you for the confidence you have placed in me by electing me to lead OUR NC DKG.
