2022 International Convention in New Orleans
So what happened in New Orleans?
As no one from BC was able to attend, we relied on the International Website for information. To view the highlights of this convention, you can register to view the videos that will be presented on August 30th and 31st. Go to the International website to register. Registration fee is $100. See the ad from the International website below.

Our Provincial President Norma will "attend" this presentation and, with help from Donna-Faye, will write a report for the next edition of Totem Talk.

Barb Clausen, our past Northwest Regional Director, was given the Achievement Award.
And, what happened to our Constitutional Amendment to update the name of DKG? It was, apparently dropped since the program of that day was running late, and the business was not continued after the lunch break!

Constitutional Amendments
In an email from Nita Scott, the Executive Director at International, she reported that "An appointed ad hoc committee has created a summary of the amendments passed during the general meetings at convention last month.
Following the chart is a summary of those amendments which might be of interest to your members. The document will be posted on the DKG Website and may be shared with your members."

Note that on the last page (page 6) it is stated "No remaining amendments were adopted. They were withdrawn, or defeated, or fell to the ground because the convention adjourned before there was time to consider them."
