International President’s Message My dear Alpha Delta Kappa Sisters, Reflections from the year 2010 illuminate many glowing memories. This year has been the busiest yet one of the most blessed of my life. Our family has been blessed with good health, opportunities, and of course, some challenges. Sharing experiences with five granddaughters, Haylee (17), Lexee (12), Whitnee (10), Emma (8) and Caroline (5) provide many blessings. It is a joy for me when you share similar sentiments about your lives. Observing, reading about and sharing the accomplishments and the enrichment Alpha Delta Kappa provides for almost 40,000 members throughout the year are most gratifying. The state, provincial and national conventions, the regional conferences, fall leadership activities, Alpha Delta Kappa Month, A∆K anniversary celebrations and the November International Teacher Education Cultural Exchange were among the highlights of the year. These events provided the opportunity for the International Chapter to meet, correspond and have fellowship with our members. The dedication of the Alpha Delta Kappa School in Vietnam was an unforgettable experience for your Executive Board Chairman and International President. The seven regional conferences radiated the dedication, commitment, enthusiasm and Jane Miller generosity of Alpha Delta Kappa sisters. Each International Vice President and her team provided a unique and wonderful experience. It was an inspiring, exhilarating experience to meet many new sisters and enjoy the camaraderie. Sharing fraternally and professionally and bonding through personal joys, concerns and ideas was inspirational. The leadership and membership throughout the states, provinces and nations are commendable. Outstanding women lead with a vision for the future and a commitment to the longevity and strength of our organization. Alpha Delta Kappa celebrates 63 years of moving forward and the continuation of Excellence in Action. Each member and leader plays a role in this continuity and strength for the future. Our organization is blessed to have 23 phenomenal women serving on International Chapter. They serve above and beyond the expectations, contributing countless hours to committee work, attending meetings and representing Alpha Delta Kappa in a professional way. Each is a uniquely dedicated individual with strengths which complement the group, willing to address issues and committed to keeping our organization strong and viable far into the 21st century. An outstanding Headquarters staff exemplifies the same love for our sorority, its purposes and standards. Our appreciation is extended to each one of them for their untiring service, maintaining our beautiful facility in Kansas City, answering all inquiries in a timely manner, providing professional publications and going above and beyond the requirements of their job descriptions. The holidays radiate joy and excitement as families and friends plan for traditional holiday celebrations. In November and December, there are 10 holidays celebrated. Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and the anticipation of a New Year include planning time to spend with family and friends. My wish is that your holidays will be the most memorable and enjoyable ever. All of us have so many blessings to reflect as we enjoy the season and the festive glow it brings. This poem evoked my sentiments for many of you. Throughout the year and especially during the holidays, I experience many heartfelt concerns for those whose joy has been minimized by loss of loved ones, financial difficulties, illness, trauma and dilemmas which may seem overwhelming at times. My prayer for each of you, my dear sisters, is that you will be “internally complete,” facing the New Year and each new challenge with renewed courage and stamina. Our sisterhood provides a support system like no other. Enjoy the holidays and look forward to a starlit New Year, “believing in YOU.” The year 2011 will usher in 365 days of possibilities for personal and professional gratification. “To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don’t worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest.” (Author unknown) “Purpose and laughter are Internally Complete This inspiration that I have inside of me, creates the kind of passion that everyone can see! I smile even when I’m sad—I can make myself just do it! no matter what the problem is—I know I can get through it! But it all starts right here—in my positive thinking mind and if you search within yourself—I know that you will find . . . a leader who’s determined not to lie down on the ground. When you lift yourself up higher and reach for what you know, you’ll be amazed at what’s inside and how your heart will grow. So find that inspiration that can carry you lots of places— and forget about the sadness that leaves only empty spaces. I know that you are great and I know that you’re complete, just believe in yourself that you won’t accept defeat! —Kimberly P. Johnson the twins that must not separate. Each is empty without the other.” (Robert K. Greenleaf) Live, laugh and love! Shine brightly among the galaxy of brilliant stars! Happy Holidays from your 2009-2011 International Chapter. With fraternal love, Jane Miller, International President Excellence in Action in Leadership 1
