Message to Members:

Be innovative…

How can we innovate to change our organization for the better?

In just the last six months, we have taken meaningful steps forward. We launched Zoom sessions for our retired members, introduced a new Vision Foundation grant, developed an online art gallery, and began a Member Spotlight to highlight the remarkable women in our chapters whose accomplishments strengthen DKG every day.

Innovation has also guided how we work. Committees now use electronic forms, our state newsletter has gone to an online version, Zoom has made meetings more accessible and productive, and our expanding social media presence allows us to share DKG highlights, promote events, and spark interest in our Society beyond traditional boundaries.

Looking ahead, 2026 brings exciting challenges and opportunities. We will celebrate 90 years of DKG in Tennessee — our Granite Jubilee! This milestone year will also feature personal and professional growth opportunities, including our Creative Arts Retreat and Early Educator Workshop in the fall. Truly, 2026 may be our best year yet.

To remain Forward Moving Ever, we must continue to innovate, adapt, and respond to the times in which we live — honoring our legacy while boldly shaping our future.
