DKG Estonia
DKG Estonia was founded on March 8, 2008. There are 35 members now who form Alfa Chapter in Tallinn lead by Chapter president Erika Puusemp and Beta Chapter in Pärnu led by Chapter president Maris Aidak. The first Estonia State president was Anu Joon. During the 3 years of membership, we spent a great deal of time and energy on sorting out the DKG rules and regulations, and getting acquainted with one another. We share the same values, interest and experience and we have created a strong fellowship. We have had many interesting meetings you can read about in our blog http://dkgeesti.blogspot.com and in our newsletter Minerva. The representatives of our society have taken part in European Leadership Conferences in Oslo and Baden-Baden as well as International Conventions in Chicago and Spokane where they have had the chance to listen to excellent speakers, have taken part in leadership sessions, panels and have made presentations at workshops themselves.
All new projects for 2011-2013 are guided by our common vision – commitment to educational excellence. Recalling Aristotle: ‘We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.’ Excellence is a daily practice in our organization. We all understand how everything that is accomplished at every level - international, state and chapter level - FEEDS INTO THE SUCCESS. The new board for 2011-2013 (Margarita Hanschmidt – president, Epp Raag – secretary, Margit Timakov – treasurer) reorganized the committees efficiently and new Chairs were appointed who have accepted the responsibility of becoming a leader. Alfa and Beta members have been divided among 5 different committees: Educational Excellence (Chair – Urve Läänemets), Membership (Chair – Reeli Tänavsuu), Communication (Chair – Meeri Sild), Finance (Chair – Margit Timakov), and Scholarships (Chair Tiiu Vitsut). Every member has a specified responsibility in order to help to implement the programmes. Each committee has already designed their objectives and activities which help to reach the set goals. In one way or the other we will all become involved in high-quality projects during 2011-2013 like ‘THAT’ (Teacher Helping Another Teacher), ‘Migrant Women – Integration Through Creativity’, ‘School research’ and others. These projects take great thought, care, insight, commitment and energy. We embrace our vision, we design our future. If you are an educator and ready to contribute to excellence in educations, you are welcome to our society meetings. Applicants are invited to become members by invitations. |
