Create Your Vision as a Leader - As an officer, members look to you to guide them. As a teacher, students will look to you to inspire them. Each role requires a clear vision of who you are as a leader. Come to a special Pre-Convo Leadership Clinic, Realizing the Teacher-Leader Within: It All Begins with YOU!, on Thursday, November 2, from 8:00a.m.-12:00p.m., that will help you "road map" your own personal vision of what it means to be a leader and teacher-leader. This interactive, hands-on Pre-Convo Clinic is $30, which includes the book, Change the Way You See Everything Through Asset-Based Thinking , and a blank writing journal. Register on the KDP Convo website. Already registered for Convo? You can add this Pre-Convo Clinic to your registration simply by emailing us at membership@kdp.org or calling 800.284.3167

Changes to KDP Membership Dues - As of July 1, 2011, membership rates increased to $39 for one year and $72 for two years.

Chapter Model Agreement - It's a new biennium for KDP, and that means every chapter must submit a signed model agreement! You can find the agreement in the chapter resources section of KDP Online.

Make sure your officers are receiving The Leader! To receive this essential KDP information,
