I read something recently (I believe it was from Sarah Sladek and XYZ University) and discovered that OPI was more than the name of a nail polish. The acronym, OPI, stood for Optimum Positive Impact. As I read, I realized that Delta Kappa Gamma (DKG) definitely has optimum positive impact. Shortly thereafter, I tweeted that DKG has OPI and to check my next blog. Well, needless to say, the blog has been slow in coming.
Our vision statement, Leading Women Educators Impacting Education Worldwide, is more than a statement. We are impacting education, and so much more, every day. I encourage you to share the many ways we impact the world for both members and non-members. One example is our World Fellowships that are granted to non-member women educators who come to the US or Canada for graduate study. The DKG Educational Foundation provides funds for non-members as well as members to engage in projects and activities around the world as well as participate in professional development opportunities.
There are more benefits of belonging to our organization than this blog can hold. Scholarships, leadership management, professional development, global affiliation, networking, opportunities to publish and serve in a leadership role, make a difference and enjoy genuine spiritual fellowship with 85,000 plus other members, are just a few.
I challenge you to read the DKG NEWS, visit the Society website at www.dkg.org, and attend the International Convention in Indianapolis, July 28-August 1, 2014, to explore the OPI of DKG.
