The Value of BGS Membership

Beta Gamma Sigma has always provided valuable benefits to its lifetime members. However, those joining the Society today are truly fortunate, as the list of member benefits is longer than ever.

Benefits that should be particularly valuable are subscriptions to BusinessWeek and Fortune magazines, and the availability and recent growth of the BGS CareerCentral job board. As you're speaking to eligible students, please be sure they know about these and other valuable member benefits. Letting outstanding students know the additional value of membership is a great way to increase the rate of those accepting the invitation to lifetime membership.

BusinessWeek and Fortune magazines Members receive one-year subscriptions to BusinessWeek and Fortune magazines, which they will begin receiving within several weeks of the induction ceremony. All new members of Beta Gamma Sigma - students, faculty, etc. - are eligible to receive the subscriptions. BusinessWeek provides all new members a one-year subscription in either the print or digital format as part of their BGS membership. For those with a U.S. mailing address, Fortune offers a similar one-year subscription. To get all the details, visit the Member Benefits section of BetaNet at http://www.betagammasigma.org/benefits.htm.

BGS CareerCentral The BGS CareerCentral Job Board has enjoyed a great deal of recent growth. Many new employers have begun posting outstanding career opportunities on the site, which shows they recognize the value of hiring members of Beta Gamma Sigma. In addition, several employers are sorting through the posted resumes and contacting members with the qualifications they seek. Please make your potential members aware of this great benefit, and encourage those who are already members to use the service. This is a fantastic, free benefit that Beta Gamma Sigma has worked hard to make even more valuable for its members. You can access the BGS CareerCentral Job Board at http://careercentral.betagammasigma.org. A few of the employers now posting career opportunities at BGS CareerCentral include: • KPMG • The Clorox Company • Raytheon • Carrier • Carl Marks & Co. • INVISTA • Franklin Templeton Investments
