This resolution recognizes and celebrates the 90th anniversary of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International's Tennessee Chapter (DKG), a professional organization for women educators founded in 1929. The resolution highlights the organization's history, including its establishment in Tennessee in 1935 with fifteen state founders, and acknowledges its significant contributions to education across the state. It notes that the Tennessee organization currently includes over 1,700 members in sixty chapters and has had forty-five state presidents since its inception, with sixteen still living today. The resolution commends the organization's mission to promote professional and personal growth of women educators and their positive impact on educational experiences from preschool through university levels. By formally recognizing the organization's achievements, the resolution celebrates the DKG's longstanding commitment to education in Tennessee and its upcoming 90th Annual State Convention planned for May 2026 at The University of the South in Sewanee. The resolution also includes a provision for preparing an official copy of the document for presentation upon request.
