2006-07 BGS Successes
As you prepare to make the 2007-08 year the best ever on your campus for Beta Gamma Sigma and your best business students, the Central Office wanted to let you know about some of the successes from 2006-07.

The Central Office – and the entire honor society – owes each and every one of you a great deal of thanks.

Communications from the Central Office

2007-08 Collegiate Chapter Officer/Assistant Training Seminars
We hope you are planning to have at least one representative from your chapter attend a Collegiate Chapter Officer/Assistant Training Seminar during the 2007-08 year.

If you or someone from your chapter is not already scheduled to take part in the Fall 2007 session being held September 27-28 in Chicago, Illinois, please consider sending someone to one of the early 2008 seminars. With the new BGS Online Ordering System and the need to reach as many great eligible students as possible, the Training Seminar is a tremendous opportunity.

2007-08 BGS Student Leadership Forums
Has your chapter sent students to past BGS Student Leadership Forums? If so, are you planning to take part again this year? You should be. And if not, why not? The Forum has proven to be a valuable learning experience for hundreds of the top students from schools across the country, often leading to comments in post-forum surveys such as, “This was a life-changing experience,” and “The Forum was one of the most worthwhile weekends of my life.” Your chapter, and one or more of your top students, should take advantage of this tremendous program.
