ALPHA DELTA KAPPA DECEMBER 2010 - Gedung Kuning

within our own communities, as
well as at the International level.
The International World
Understanding Committee
facilitates world understanding
efforts throughout our organization
by means of education and
increasing our awareness of
available opportunities. Excellent
articles are published in the
Kappan about travel to foreign
destinations, as well as understanding
ourselves and who
we are in relationship to other
cultures.
The Alpha Delta Kappa-
International Teacher Education
program is a stellar example of
world understanding as we interact
with the students who are in
the United States for one to two
years to study at our universities
and colleges. The Alpha Delta
Kappa School in Vietnam, funded
through the Foundation and
Project S.A.V.E., is now a reality.
Our fourth star reflects from
each of its points Membership,
Leadership and Communication.
We must let our commitment
and responsibility of member-

ship in our sisterhood shine
brilliantly. Limitless stars are
required in this constellation.
The International Membership
Committee guides, directs and
inspires; however, membership
is everyone’s concern. As a
result of my challenge issued for
each state, province, or nation
to begin one new chapter before
the end of the biennium, several
new chapters have been formed.
There is still time to get the
process started before the end
of the biennium.
I would like to commend
Linda Chambers, International
Vice President for Membership,
and the International Membership
Committee for their reflections
of dedication and commitment.
International Chapter
created a document, “Establishing
a New Chapter”; IMC wrote
a new document, “New Chapters
Excellence in Action,” which
contains outstanding points for
existing chapters. Both of these
documents are posted on the
International website.
Our final reflection is a star
that was first viewed at a distance
but is evolving—21st Century
Relevance. The advances
we have made in the use of technology
have definitely impacted
our organization, its efficiency
and effectiveness. We must
continue to utilize every possible
technological advancement
to attract younger outstanding
women educators who are the
future of Alpha Delta Kappa.
All of us in this ballroom
and others not present have a
star-studded event for July 13-16,
2011. Plan now for your region
to have stellar attendance for the
27th International Convention Ø
