Achievement Award Information

The purpose of the Beta Gamma State Achievement Award is to honor a member who has demonstrated outstanding service at the state level, enthusiasm and leadership, and who has promoted the purposes and policies of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International.
The nominee shall be an active chapter member of Beta Gamma State. She shall have demonstrated a leadership role in Beta Gamma State. Members may be nominated more than once but may receive the award only once. The state president is not considered for the award during her term of office.
The Second Vice President of Beta Gamma State shall send nomination forms to all chapter presidents by November 1, prior to the state convention or workshop. Nominations must be returned no later than February 1. Nominations may be made by any member, but nominations must be signed by three members of Beta Gamma State. The selection committee shall be composed of the Second Vice President of Beta Gamma State who shall serve as chair, and three members, one from each of the three geographical areas of the state, appointed by the State President to serve for one biennium. The award shall be presented only when the committee selects a qualified recipient, not necessarily on an annual basis.
The Beta Gamma State Achievement Award shall be presented to the recipient by the Second Vice President of Beta Gamma State. The award shall be presented at the final banquet of the state convention or at an appropriate event at the workshop. If the recipient is not in attendance, her chapter president shall present the award to the recipient at the next chapter meeting. The recognition shall consist of a certificate and the Achievement Award Medallion.
The Beta Gamma State Achievement Award winner’s name shall be placed in a sealed envelope and given to the State Secretary at either the Executive Board meeting or the General Membership meeting, so that the winner’s name can be entered in the official minutes.

And the winner is...

It is my pleasure to announce the recipient of this biennium’s State Achievement Award.  I am sorry that under these unusual circumstances, we cannot make this presentation in person.  Per the State’s Standing Rule J.4, I shall send the medallion to the recipient’s chapter President for physical presentation at their next chapter event.  The medallion being awarded this year originally was given to Pat Dart, Zeta, and was returned to the State upon her passing.

Our sister nominee has a masters in Library Science and has taught at the middle and high school level.  Although retired, she continues to take classes to keep her teaching certificate active.

This individual has been a member of DKG for 16 years and has held several elected offices and committee positions in her chapter, as well as acting protem for officers on an as needed basis.

At the State level, this sister has served multiple terms on the Nominations Committee, Communications Committee, and has worked tirelessly as the Nuggets Editor.

Civically, this member has served on and/or volunteered with the State Library Board, Clay Street Cemetery Commission, Genealogical Society, UAW, Noel Wien Library, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

By unanimous vote, I am pleased to present the State Achievement Award to Aldean Kilbourn of Theta Chapter, Fairbanks.  Congratulations Aldean!!
