DKG members can experience other cultures by applying for and being selected as an international speaker. Travel costs are paid for by the International Speaker Fund (ISF) and rooming costs are paid for by the host state organization. Attending an international convention or conference and/or state organization convention affords members with the opportunity to connect with other members both locally and internationally and form life-long bonds as well as the possibility to not only view, but present workshops.
Every DKG member is considered a leader – a woman who wants to make a difference. How you choose to lead is up to you but DKG offers support for that leadership in many ways: through chapter and state organization opportunities; international executive education seminars; professional learning experiences during international conferences and conventions (continuing education units are offered at some of these events and at many state organization meetings.) through sharing of ideas in the DKG Communities and in the Discovery Learning Centre
As a DKG member, you will find opportunities for scholarships at all levels: international, state organization, and possibly even your chapter. You can also benefit from various DKGIEF grants and should a natural disaster destroy your personal property, the DKG Emergency Fund offers financial assistance in the form of a check for $500.
