ΤΒΣ National Leadership Expansion

by ΤΒΣ National President Dr. Kathryn Kelly

Greetings Sisters and Brothers of Tau Beta Sigma!!!  The National Council of Tau Beta Sigma is excited to announce our leadership expansion that will be taking place over the next year.

Since the loss of our Chapter Field Representative in 2008, we have worked to develop a sustainable alternative that is both fiscally responsible and efficient, while allowing chapter visits and facetime with students on a more frequent basis.  The goal over the next year is to place two Counselors in every district and supplement them with Chapter Visitation Assistants (CVAs) to allow each chapter to be visited at least once per biennium.

These new members of the National leadership team will work with our current counselor core as volunteers for the organization with a goal of visiting 2-3 chapters per semester.

At National Convention 2015, the National Delegation passed a dues increase and the biennial budget that will allow the implementation of the chapter visits and professional training of these individuals from around the country!

Our goal is to help each chapter be stronger by working individually with them to build stronger chapter operations, employ more effective recruitment methods, help eliminate hazing, institute more profitable fundraising, and develop more well-rounded leaders.

I have every confidence that these enthusiastic individuals will make the Tau Beta Sigma experience that much more meaningful to each student and chapter.  As we develop these visits and mold the program, I hope that each member will work to give us feedback on what would be the most helpful to make your chapter function more smoothly.

This information will allow us to better cater the chapter visits to the needs of the membership.  We are growing in size, but also in quality and I look forward to the amazing things that will come because the National Delegation entrusted the National Council with making this a reality!  Tau Beta Sigma for Greater Bands!
