Welcome
Kappas
On behalf of the 2012–2014 Fraternity Council and the Foundation Board of Trustees, it is our pleasure
to welcome you to the Fraternity’s 70th Biennial Convention in Houston, Texas. General Convention is an
intergenerational experience that provides unique opportunities to meet Kappa sisters from across the United
States, Canada and England.
This program and the mobile Guidebook app are your guides during Convention so you won’t miss any of the
fantastic educational sessions, award presentations, inspirational speakers, business meetings or the Foundation’s
special breakfast event—where we’ll celebrate the Foundation’s 25th anniversary!
During the biennium, Fraternity Council developed the Strategic Plan for 2013–2018 outlining four overarching
goals:
• Kappa Kappa Gamma will implement a flexible volunteer and staff structure that recognizes
intergenerational needs, shifts appropriate responsibility to well-trained Headquarters staff and allows
leadership to set the vision, while inspiring a focus on our members.
• The Fraternity will utilize adaptable training to prepare chapter and alumnae association officers and
volunteers to be successful in their Kappa roles.
• Kappa’s philanthropic affiliations will be easily recognized by all members and by public audiences, positively
impacting membership engagement.
• Kappa will educate all members about the lifelong opportunities of membership to more successfully
connect them with our vision and values.
These goals align with the Fraternity’s and Foundation’s vision statements:
Kappa Kappa Gamma will empower women to pursue a lifetime of excellence
and
The Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation will be at the forefront of advancing inspired women leaders.
We look forward to embracing the changes recommended by the Fraternity’s Long Range Planning Task
Force, which was charged with studying the volunteer structure and distribution of responsibilities within our
organization, including review of the Fraternity’s Standing and Special Committees. As we prepare for our 150th
anniversary in 2020, Kappa Kappa Gamma must continue to remain relevant to our members and be on the
leading edge within our vibrant Panhellenic community.
The gratitude and admiration we feel for the volunteers and staff who keep Kappa “up and running” so well is
endless. Thank you, thank you, thank you! As we celebrate our accomplishments this week and rejoice all that is
deep in the heart of Kappa, let us all aspire to be One Heart. One Kappa.
Loyally,
Julie Marine Leshay, Colorado College
