DAR membership.
Dillon was elected DAR President General in 2016, having previously served as First Vice President General, Registrar General, Colorado State Regent, and various other positions. She is a first-generation DAR member and is the first member from Colorado elected to the position. Her administration's theme was “Moving Forward in Service to America,” which continued the previous administration's emphasis on meaningful community service, but with more structured guidance and projects from the National level. Projects focus on education and training, including the creation of the Community Classroom Committee, and DAR training opportunities for members, including the New Members Course. She challenged DAR members to record 19 million hours of community service.
