This orientation presentation introduces potential members to Delta Kappa Gamma Society, emphasizing personal and professional growth, leadership opportunities, activism, publishing, financial assistance, and recognition. Join us to make a difference in education!
E N D
This presentation makes no attempt to cover “everything” about the Society; our focus is on what is attractive to a potential member about the Society. Other areas (like our history, Founders, etc.) are incorporated into the reorientation materials for the entire chapter, including new members. When using the PowerPoint, the first slide of the presentation is slide 3. Slides 1 and slide 2 are for you, the presenter, so please become familiar with the notes that accompany each slide, and understand the method of presentation as it is explained to you on the next slide. Please insert your chapter name and location and state organization name on the first slide, but make no changes on any subsequent slides. It is our belief that this presentation will be most appealing to potential members. Please give us feedback on the outcome of your orientation using the new process. Orientation Message to the Orientation Presenter(s)
It is very important that you, the presenter, read and print out all information included in the notes section (if they are not visible now, go to VIEW, then select Notes Page) of the PowerPoint presentation before conducting your orientation. Then, when you use the information in your presentation (slide show view), you will bring clarity, emphasis and essential detail to each slide without overburdening the potential member(s) with information they do not need to know to make an informed decision about membership. Suggestions to presenter are italicized in notes. Specific important information to impart is in bold. Orientation Note to the Orientation Presenter
