December 2016
To: Chapter Presidents
From: Carolyn Pittman, international president Sandra Smith Bull, executive director
The purpose of this survey is to assess the effectiveness of the connection of your members and chapter to your state organization and to the international Society. Your candid responses will help Society leaders make decisions and take actions that impact the DKG organization. We are cognizant that you have been chapter president only a short time and may not have knowledge of some of the information requested. Our intention is NOT to overwhelm you and make your leadership seem onerous. Instead, we are hopeful that in completing the survey, you can assess for yourself what you do know and what you want to know. The important result is that you know what you can learn about DKG and your own leadership and that the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International supports you in your leadership role.
You will send your responses to your state president no later than February 1, and she will compile the responses from all the chapters in her state in her report to international. Your meeting the deadline allows her to meet her deadline March 1.
Please be candid in your responses.
