Dear Wisconsin A𝚫K Sisters,
The school year has started, and the 2022-2024 biennium has officially begun! Congratulations to all of our new chapter officers and committee chairs, especially our sisters who have taken a leadership role for the first time. The time you devote to making your A𝚫K chapter a success does not go unnoticed, and is greatly appreciated!
During the Wisconsin A𝚫K Convention on April 23, I had the honor of being installed as the A𝚫K Wisconsin State President for the 2022-2024 biennium. I have been a proud member of WI Zeta (Kenosha) since 2011. I recently served as Chapter President 2020-2022. All of the A𝚫K sisters I have met, from long time A𝚫K Wisconsin State Board members to sisters from across the North Central Region, have been so positive and supportive of my decision to accept the role of State President. I feel confident 2022-2024 is going to be a great 2 years for all of us! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any advice or questions. I am learning as I go along, and I am very grateful to our past state presidents and state board members who are helping me learn the ins and outs of my new role.
I have chosen “Be the Difference with Alpha Delta Kappa” as the theme of the 2022-2024 biennium for the state of Wisconsin. I feel this theme reflects how we as Alpha Delta Kappa members are hope-builders and difference-makers for our communities, for education, and for each other.
My monthly newsletters will contain information you will need to know about upcoming events and deadlines, but also news from our chapters. I look forward to working with all of you as we choose to “Be the Difference with Alpha Delta Kappa”!
