The 2025 Summer Issue of The Circle will be dedicated to The Power of Authentic Leadership: Profiles of Leaders Redefining Success Through Integrity. Ideas include: discussion with public servants about integrity while in public office, and leaders who have gone through adversity and faced it with authenticity. We are seeking an individual to serve as the Guest Editor for the summer issue. The Guest Editor will work closely with the ΟΔΚ National Headquarters staff to curate high-quality contributions and drive the editorial review process for this publication.

Most importantly, the Guest Editor should work to ensure that the content is cohesive. Finally, the Guest Editor will be responsible for identifying the following content:
- Main Feature
- In Your Words
- Feature Article
- Q&A
