The Presidents Perspective

Happy Spring!
As I watch the trees and flowers begin to bud, I realize that Spring
really is the season for renewal. As we are winding down the 20142016 Biennium, we can also look forward to what lies ahead for
Alpha Zeta and DKG.
The Professional Development Seminar in April will acquaint us with
IOTA state plans for the coming year. I find that the keynote
speakers and the individual sessions always give me renewed energy
and vision. I hope that many of you will be attending.
As for Alpha Zeta, we look forward to installing new officers at our
May meeting and initiating a new member. It is very gratifying to
see how our chapter continues to grow. Every member counts and
contributes to our success as a chapter.
I want to let everyone know that I will be out of the country (on a
cruise with my husband and another couple from college) from
March 24 through April 6. I will not have regular access to email and
will have no access by phone. If you need anything, please contact
Sara Ellis.
