Inspire, Excite, IgnitE

Thanks to all for a great start to the biennium. The first DKG MD State Executive Board will be  held on Saturday, 9/13/2025. 

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 the finance leader who has been your state treasurer and finance committee chair for over 20 years. Even though that role has changed over the last four years, I hope to continue to assist you and your chapter.

The 2024-2025 school year is over and now many are beginning the 2025-2026 school year. 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 make chapter visits to meet our members, but the State Leadership Team may 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. Please contact me and get your chapter on my calendar. Let’s stay connected, lift each other, and keep pushing for the progress our state, our chapters, our members, our profession—and our students—deserve.
Have a successful school year! 
Fondly Your Sister,
Janey Snyder
DKG Maryland State Organization President, 2025-2027
