DRT 2026 Annual Convention
The Daughters of District 2 wish to invite you all to join us in Fort Worth, Texas, May 26-30th, 2026 for the 135th Annual DRT Convention which will be held at the Sheraton Hotel. The 2026 convention, themed “Cowtown & Cowgirls - Celebrating Generations of Texas Women” will help us learn more about women in Texas history - exploring past, present, and future generations. The convention also promises to bring the opportunity to share insights and foster collaboration.
We are confident that your presence will contribute greatly to the success of the convention, and we are eager to have you join us in this enriching experience.
Don't forget to pack your boots and hats and Texas-sized bling! I look forward to seeing you in Fort Worth.
