State Registrar
Donna Knight
The duties of a chapter’s Registrar are among
the most important of the chapter offices you
will hold during your term, and I am honored to
share this adventure with you. As mentioned on
the Registrar General page, “you belong to a
team of dedicated volunteer genealogists and
researchers, with a passion for genealogy and
dedication to DAR.” You play a big part in
helping the State of Iowa grow its membership.
The NSDAR Members’ site has wonderful tools
that will assist you with new
member applications and supplementals.
This site will take you to the Genealogy page,
where you will discover everything you need to
know about New Member Applications and Member
Supplementals. Take a moment to explore each tab
and familiarize yourself with the tools that are
available.
Another wonderful tool is the
Registrar General’s page. Mrs. Parnell has
also included the Resources and Tools that will
help you with your duties as your chapters
Registrar. The following topics are: Prospective
Members Forms, Application
Preparation, For Registrar, For Members
and Genealogy-Related Committees under
each topic you will find the documents numbered
RGG- and better yet, it takes you right to the
document with one easy click. The
Revised Application Form was updated on
1/3/2025. Take time to watch the webinar on Mrs.
Parnell's page regarding the 2024-2025
application form changes.
Have you considered sending a letter to your
prospective members? On the National site
you can also find a great Application
Preparation Acknowledgement Form. It tells
your prospective members about the cost of
joining and gives them a heads-up on the
documents that will be required. They also have
an Application
Information Sheet; your PM can provide you
with valuable information for your first 4
generations. I really like the last one that
states, we are excited your application is
coming together. Its time to submit your
necessary fees and dues.
I look forward to working with all of you
during the Steinke administration,
Donna
