She is encouraging DAR’s nearly 190,000 members to embrace their membership and celebrate their own special bonds through participation, whatever their life situation, age or abilities. She recognizes that each member is capable of contributing to DAR and her community and country at large, in her own unique way and has challenged each chapter to identify opportunities to propel membership growth by welcoming all descendants of American Patriots.
