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:

Chapter Leadership

Stepping into leadership roles fosters personal growth through learning experiences. Leaders develop resilience, communication skills, and empathy as they navigate diverse situations. Serving others cultivates confidence, adaptability, and a deeper understanding of teamwork. Through leadership, individuals unlock their potential and become catalysts for positive change.

State Leadership

At the state level, members contribute by joining committees, attending leadership seminars, and pursuing elected positions. These opportunities enable active involvement and influence in shaping our organization's direction and initiatives.

International Leadership

Serving on international committees allows members to learn more about DKG and its various working/moving parts. Committees complete much of the work of the Society. Every committee member brings a personal perspective, talents, and ideas to the table and contributes to the projects, service, and programs of the group. It is a wonderfully fulfilling growth experience.
