* Colleges have a special relationship with Alpha Beta Gamma and offer special scholarships

President:

Nathan Singleton, Alpha Pi

Hello ABG members,
I am your National President for the Spring and Fall 2011 semesters. After only three months of planning and discussion with the National team, I can see that we have a lot to do. Nevertheless, it will be absolutely worthwhile because our ultimate objective is to help you accomplish your chapter goals. Overall, I hope to see an increased attendance to the National Conference this year and a higher involvement in community service. If you have any questions about the conference, please ask your advisor. They are more than willing to assist. I encourage you to tour this website and discover all the great things that Alpha Beta Gamma is doing. It is a pleasure serving you! I hope to hear from you soon.

Co-Vice Presidents:

Jesse Clayburgh, Zeta Beta

As a national co-vice president hailing from the Zeta Beta Chapter (San Francisco), I'm currently working with all ABG national officers to increase ABG's fundraising efforts, volunteer opportunities, and outreach. I feel it is also important for us, the ABG Executive Committee, to streamline communications with and provide greater support to each individual ABG chapter. In addition, we're working to establish a greater international presence and grow ABG to many other colleges throughout the world. It's going to be an exciting year for ABG!

Ina Klein, Delta

Hello, I am one of your co-vice Presidents for the year 2011/2012. Alpha Beta Gamma National has planned a lot for this year and I am more than happy to work with ABG's national officers to accomplish these goals. I believe that business has the responsibility to give back to the community from which it draws its support. Therefore, I think it is crucial for ABG's chapters to set a high focus on social responsibility. I also think ABG should expand more on an international basis. I am originally from Germany and fly out to my home country at least twice a year. I am currently working on helping a college in Essen, Germany to open up a Chapter. This is just the beginning. I hope for ABG to expand more internationally and to focus on giving back to community. It is my pleasure to serve Alpha Beta Gamma International.
Thanks!

Student Executive Committee:

Sean Miller, Delta (Secretary)

Hey, I am your Secretary for the year 2011/2012. Alpha Beta Gamma National is a group that is constantly evolving in order to better lead the collective ABG society. As Secretary, I'll happily make sure that every idea that is mentioned will be preserved forever via Microsoft Word. I believe that if you don't stay creative and willing to change with the times, you'll get left behind. Therefore, I think it's extremely important that ABG's chapters focus on thinking of new and exciting ways to give back to their community, increasing membership, and making ABG a household name. I have been doing community service for 8 years now and have countless hours of stories that can help inspire one begin their various projects. I also have been publically speaking from the tender age of 8 and will tell you many different ways to get past one of the most universal fears there is. I was born and raised in New York and wave my flag proudly. I am the current Vice President of Delta Chapter. My hope for ABG is that it continues to expand, hopefully going international very soon, and that all its members go on to be the biggest movers in all fields of study in the future. It is an honor and pleasure to serve Alpha Beta Gamma National.

Walter Ward, Delta

Hi, my name is Walter Ward and I am an Executive Committee Member for Alpha Beta Gamma National 2011/2012. ABG is the best honor society for two year undergraduates in business. As a Senator of my Delta Chapter, I have learned how ABG creates a culture that thrives on teamwork and encourages its members to help each other and also the community. I believe we can carry out our creativity and ingenuity by creating a greater community for ourselves and reaching out toward others. Three things I want to accomplish for my term is to connect our members to each other, reach out towards alumni, and expand ABG to other schools. Together with your help, I believe we can make ABG even better and raise the bar of excellence for years to come!

Kerry Nation, Chi Zeta

First, and foremost, I am honored to represent Alpha Beta Gamma as a member of the National Executive Committee as well as Vice President of Fundraising for my Chi Zeta chapter. Secondly, I wish to spread the word about Alpha Beta Gamma and how beneficial this society is to not only the member but also the community. Working with my chapter to host a bone marrow drive, which was more successful than others hosted by the well-known University of Georgia, was my first taste of how ABG helps the community. However, it was when my chapter pulled together to decorate, fundraise, and participate in our local Relay for Life event that built my confidence and enriched my life. Before my term is over, I hope to have increased advertising opportunities in schools, spread the word about ABG through Facebook, and convince additional schools to take advantage of the ABG recognitions.
