HIAWASSEE, Ga. – Alpha Delta Kappa International Honorary Organization for Women Educators month was recognized via proclamation by Towns County Commissioner Cliff Bradshaw Oct. 7. “Whereas women in education constitute a great portion of the nation’s working force,and are constantly striving to serve their communities and nation in educational, cultural, and charitable programs leading to harmony, happiness, and peace among all people…,” the proclamation reads in part.

Since 1947, over 125,000 women educators around the world have discovered the many opportunities provided by membership in Alpha Delta Kappa — opportunities for recognition of commitment to educational excellence, for personal and professional growth and for collectively channeling their energies toward the good of schools, communities, the teaching profession and the world.
