Inspire, Excite, IgnitE

---

Dear DKG MD Sisters,
I’m incredibly honored to step into the role of president and begin this new biennium (2025-2027) with you. Many of you know me as finance leader who has been your state treasurer and finance committee chair for over 20 years. Even that role has changed over the last 4 years I hope to continue you to assist our Maryland chapters.

The 2024-2025 school year is over so I hope everyone is taking time to relax and enjoy this time for you and your families. It won’t be long and everyone will be preparing for the 2025-2026 school year. Stay safe and stay cool.

As women educators, we know what it means to lead with strength, compassion, and resilience and I have a deep admiration for the dedication and strength that lives in each of our chapters. DKG MD State leaders, chapter leaders and chapter members continue to INSPIRE me as our chapters serve each other, our schools and our local communities.

Let’s EXCITE this new biennium with fresh energy. Together, we’ll build DKG MD State leadership that lifts up chapter members and chapter leaders. The potential, the passion, the spark for DKG Maryland chapter leadership is already there. My state goal is to INSPIRE that spark with the tools, encouragement, and partnership you need to step confidently into a new (or continuing) leadership role when new officers are installed next spring.

I want you to know I’m hitting the ground running, working hard with our team to ensure your
voices are heard, your work is valued, and your needs are met. This community is a force, and I
believe wholeheartedly in what we can do together. The DKG MD State Leadership Team is here
for you. We are here to support each chapter in the state. Please know my door is always open to
chapters and their leaders. The state can offer assistance, just ask. All questions are important. I
hope to chapter visits to meet our members but the State Leadership Team may would be happy
to visit to offer assistance and support, to be your chapter’s ROCK. DKG MD ROCKS!

​I am looking forward to visiting all chapters. Please don’t forget my offer to visit. I want to meet
and learn about all members. I cannot wait to visit. My first visit to Alpha Alpha and Eta is already
scheduled so please contact me and get your chapter on my calendar. Let’s stay connected, lift
each other up, and keep pushing for the progress our state, our chapters, our members, our
profession—and our students—deserve.
Fondly,
Janey Snyder
DKG Maryland State Organization President, 2025-2027
