When do DKE chapters typically hold their elections?

DKE chapters typically hold their elections at the end of the academic year. This timing aligns with the conclusion of the academic term when new leadership roles can be effectively transitioned to incoming members. During this period, members can reflect on the past year, assess their goals, and elect new officers who will guide the chapter in the coming year. Holding elections at this time allows for a smooth handover of responsibilities and ensures that the incoming leadership is prepared to start the new academic year with a clear mandate and a fresh set of objectives, which is crucial for maintaining continuity and stability within the chapter. This practice is common in many organizations as it allows for planning and strategizing for the future.
