Student Officer Training Webinar

We will be hosting a student officer training session December 5 at 10 am CST. Global HQ will provide information about the webinar and how to sign up directly to the 2018/2019 student officers whose name and title has been provided to our office from your chapter.

If you haven’t submitted this year’s student officers, email chapters@betagammasigma.org by December 2 so they don’t miss out on this great opportunity. Engaged student officers help the chapter earn points towards Chapter Honor Roll.

Automation Reminder – IT’S LIVE

On November 1, the CMS began sending automated induction invitation reminders. These emails are sent to students 7 days before the scheduled processing date for certificates.

Reminder messages may be sent prior to that date; they’re sent to anyone who has not accepted until that point. If your chapter would like to opt out, please email us.

Chapter Management System Virtual Training – these hour-long webinars focus on how faculty and staff utilize the CMS to invite members, order supplies and manage member acceptances. They are ideal for all faculty/staff level chapter officers, both new and continuing.

Save 10% on the Ethical Leadership Certification Program!

The Ethical Leadership Certification Program (ELCP), developed in partnership with the NASBA Center for the Public Trust, teaches students about navigating complex ethical issues they’ll likely find in their career. It’s also a certification they can list on their resume, to help them stand out from the crowd—it proves they’re committed to supporting an ethical workplace culture.

For a limited time, you and your students can save 10 percent on ethical leadership certification! And remember—when you enroll your chapter, you can select how much (if any) the chapter should be invoiced for.
