The U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.

2027 Annual Meeting & Delegates Gathering

March 31 – April 6, 2027  |  Washington, D.C. & Virginia

(includes pre- and post- events)  Main Program is April 1 – 4, 2027

It's never too early to make your plans to be with KOV friends from across the country!

Our 2027 Annual Meeting and Delegates Gathering will be hosted by the Nation's Capital Chapter in Washington, D.C. and the nearby Virginia area. From a guided tour inside our U.S. Capitol Building and Library of Congress to dinner at George Washington's Mount Vernon to an exclusive "behind the scenes" tour of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and so much more, you will be able to experience the beauty of Spring in these historic places. We'll visit all the iconic landmarks and dine in a 300-year-old tavern while also exploring the flourishing Virginia wine country.

Make your plans now! Registration will open soon!

The organization is governed by the Board of Directors.  There are currently nine Directors of which three are elected to a three year term each year at the Annual Delegates’ Meeting.  Each Chapter is allowed one voting delegate for each 50 members or portion thereof.
