Convo is Just around the Corner!

Convo 2011 takes place November 3-5, 2011, at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis, IN. Tomorrow is the last day for Online Registration. Don't miss out!

Chapters Attending Convo 2011 - Gold Stars to the chapters that have already registered a Delegate for the Business Meeting and have completed the Credentialing process! If your chapter has not yet registered a Delegate for the Business Meeting, please contact Patrick Griffith at Patrick@kdp.org or call (317) 829-1528. Remember, having a delegate to represent your chapter is a requirement for all chapters, especially those chapters striving for the ACE Award! Let you chapter's voice be heard as the collective membership of our Society maps out the future of Kappa Delta Pi!

Attention Convo Attendees - If you have not yet responded regarding your attendance at the Counselor Luncheon, Legacy Dinner, Educational Foundation Luncheon, and/or President's Reception, please confirm your attendance with Willi Wilson at willi@kdp.org or call (800) 284-3167. Even if you signed up for an event through Convo 2011 Registration, your RSVP is still needed!

Nominations for Leaders  - Don't delay! Here is your opportunity to help lead Kappa Delta Pi - an organization dedicated to recognizing excellence in education and advancing scholarship and service in the teaching profession by connecting great ideas and great people and to inspire leadership within the education community.

You may nominate yourself or you may nominate a fellow Kadelpian for an Executive Council position. Information about the responsibilities of each position and additional expectations for serving are outlined in the Leadership Roles brochure.

The Officer Candidate Application Form  may be submitted electronically or by postal mail to KDP Headquarters. The deadline is November 11, 2011.

Updating Contact Information Through the Web Portal -  Today's highly connected and communicative world lends itself to this $64,000 question: How many e-mail addresses do you have? Your answer depends on how connected you are to the Internet. Students often have several e-mail addresses, designated for specific uses: personal, social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, junk e-mail, and academic purposes. Make sure your members update their contact information through the Web portal so that they receive Society news, special notices, and reminders to renew. Contact your RCC if you have questions about making those updates.

New Teacher Advocate, In Hand & Online - When you received the fall issue of New Teacher Advocate, did you notice the green icon on page three that directed readers to the digital version of the publication? That's right a page-turning, live-linked NTA to give readers quick and easy access to articles, content-related materials, and online resources. If you missed the green icon and link, be sure to check it out here. P.S. We made other changes too. Can you tell what they are? Send your comments and feedback to Pubs@kdp.org, subject: NTA2011. Thank you!

Make sure your officers are receiving The Leader! To receive this essential KDP information,
officers must be listed on the Officer Report through the Web Portal.
If necessary, please forward The Leader to the appropriate officers.
