Delta Kappa Gamma Society International does not want to be referred to as "international"; the preferred term is "the society".  I'll try to remember that!

The society has become prolific in its helpful publications.  We now have "As The SAP Rises", tips for strategic action planning.   Dowload it here or  Read more...  We have the society's membership committee publishing monthly tips, this month it is on mentoring new teachers -  Read More... There is a new orientation guide with a slide show available, also from the international membership committee.  Read more...

Of course, we still have the communications committee's suggestions to help us out in the monthly "Broadcasting the Buzz"  Read more...

Keep watching the Alpha Zeta State website and I will try to post all of the latest when it arrives.

You'll have to wait until the January newsletter to hear about the fantastic workshops that Barbara Smith and her committee are planning, but there will be two brand new things happening this year.

 

There will be chapter sales!  This is something that has been considered for many years, but this year it will have its trial run.  Each chapter's president and convention chair have the full information.  There is a key deadline coming up, however.  Any chapter that wants to participate and sell something must have that request in to Sigma Chapter (which is coordinating the sale) before November 15, so that they can get the information to Roxanne Adinolfi for final approval.

ANNUAL CTAUN CONFERENCE AT THE UNITED NATIONS:

 Education IS a Human Right - Friday, February 3, 2012.

Here, and on the AZState website, is a flyer so that you can apply for a professional development day. 

 

Margaret Anzul and Linda Dix, our liaisons to CTAUN and Schools for Africa, have provided us with the latest information, newsletters and newsettes.  Check the CTAUN and Schools for Africa links on our website.

The Alpha Zeta State website (deltakappagamma.org/NJ/) has been completely re-designed.  The officers and state committee chairs got the notice of the re-design during the summer.  If you haven't been there yet, please go check it out.  There is a new drop-down menu that should make it possible for you to find everything you want and need without searching.  If you notice something missing, incorrect or  just messed up, please let Jan Paxton, state webmaster, know and she will fix the problem.

The latest additions have been the slide shows from Hershey.  The Northeast Regional Conference was well attended, especially by New Jersey.  A small slide show of official (copyrighted) pictures from Photos By Jim is on the home page of the website.  Michele Contala took about 3 million pictures and the slide show of her photos is on the Gallery web page.
