Hello,
This will be the final edition of The Achiever before National Convention. I can not tell you enough how
proud I am of all members and chapters throughout this DTA year. I have sincerely enjoyed reading all Form 40
forms and working with different chapters. Reading over the Form 40’s has shown me how dedicated each chapter
is to serving others. Each chapter emphasizes true leadership and selflessness in each chapter function they perform.
It has been a true humbling experience serving as a National Officer for Delta Tau Alpha. I have learned
what it means to perform as a team to serve others. I can not wait to see DTA members arrive at National Convention
in Fort Hays in the next month. While at convention, please come talk to the National Officer team every chance you
get. We would love to meet and get to know everyone.
Billy Cameron
National DTA President
