Building the Future for Women Educators and Education [05/19/08]
Information and background about your dues
As a member of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, you understand that the future of our educational system depends on the development, support and leadership of women educators. You also know that education is a long-term investment, and that even the smallest economic shifts can mean escalating costs, shrinking budgets and difficult financial decisions. We have tried every means to do more with less, but we have come to a point where we must ask our members to step forward and invest proactively in the future of the Society.
