Former National Presidents and Board Chairs

The Omicron Delta Kappa Society was governed by a Board of Directors and led by a National President up until 2019. The new governance structure has the Omicron Delta Kappa Society and Educational Foundation led by a Board of Trustees and a Board Chair. OΔK owes much of its success to the strong leaders who have overseen the organization since its founding in 1914.
