Today, Forbes published their 2026 “50 Over 50” list and we are excited to announce DAR’s very own President General Ginnie Sebastian Storage featured in the “Impact” category with fellow “Changemakers leaving the world a little better than they found it.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/maggiemcgrath/2026/08/11/2026-50-over-50-impact/

The Forbes 50 Over 50 highlights women proving that leadership, innovation and influence have no age limit. The women on the list, divided into categories: impact, investment, innovation and lifestyle, are actively leading organizations, building businesses, advancing scientific discovery, shaping public policy, creating cultural impact or driving social change. They are mission-minded entrepreneurs and leaders tackling the world’s most pressing problems with a powerful combination of empathy, expertise and experience.
Congratulations, DAR President General Ginnie Storage!

As part of the America 250th celebration, the Captain James Cook Chapter, NSDAR, sponsored an essay contest entitled “Illuminating the Spirit of 1776.” The contest was conducted from mid-March through the end of May and attracted numerous outstanding submissions.
The winning essay was written by Chapter member and Registrar Mary Jo. Her essay, “James Burroughs, An Ordinary Man,” was selected as the overall winner.

Honorable Mention awards were presented to two additional authors:

Kim, an Associate Member from the Sioux Lookout Chapter in North Platte, Nebraska, for her essay “Howard Leslie Carey: A Patriotic American.”
Julia, an Associate Member from the Colonel Thomas Dorsey Chapter in Ellicott City, Maryland, for her essay “Kerenhappuch Norman Turner.”
We are thrilled with the results of this project and the compilation of outstanding essays that emerged from it. We invite everyone to enjoy the complete essay booklet, which is available for online viewing at the following link:
