2022 State Achievement Award Winners

PictureJill Snyder
Service to Society
Jill Snyder, Alpha Epsilon/2 in Salem, is a very active member of DKG. She has served at the chapter level in many offices, including serving as co-president for two biennia. She started as Chapter Treasurer in 2010 and continues today. She participates in planning programs, making our chapter basket(s) for State Conventions / Conferences and leading virtual game nights.
At the state level, Jill served as Administrative Secretary for four state presidents:  Bridget Honan, Alice Reichle-Hartness, Kathy Martell, and Dr. Cindy Ryan. Because of her expertise in math and computer skills, she was able to accomplish all her duties, which were a lot, while still teaching and raising a family.
Jill has attended many International Conventions and Conferences. In 2009, the International Conference was in Portland, Oregon. Jill and another chapter member were responsible for the Hospitality Room. In 100-degree weather, they were able to make the Hospitality Room the place to be throughout the conference. That meant a lot of pre-planning and late-night trips to the store for breakfast items the next day.
Jill has endless energy and talents she shares with DKG and deserves the Service to Society Award.

PictureBarbara Smutz
