STATE OF THE CHAPTER

May 2, 2016

Dear Phi Beta Lambda Members:

As we are approaching the end of another year of excellence, I am pleased to share with you the

progress and accomplishments of 2015-2016. First, we have expanded our marketing effort and

recruited 13 new members this fall semester and 5 more this spring semester bringing our total to

43 members. In comparison, Truman State University has over 5,500 students in Kirksville,

Missouri – population 17,000.

Furthermore, our stable finances have enabled us to give back to our members by covering their

conference registration costs. Our financial success is attributed to the increased fundraising

effort through improved fundraising events. In addition, we either host professional speakers or

present our own professional workshops at every meeting. PBL is able to provide amazing

resources for each of our excellent members. We strive to give our members the chance to utilize

their skills in a professional business environment. Every member represents us well and shows

our university everything that our outstanding organization has to offer.

All our success as a chapter has been earned throughout this past year by each of our advisors,

our executive board, and our members. As an organization, we are so fortunate to add two new

advisors to our team. Their professional experiences have helped us increase our network to

serve our members better. The current executive board has worked hand in hand with our

advisors to improve our procedures and to expand our resources for our members. Reevaluating

officer duties created a new team atmosphere. Our officers demonstrate their best in all their

responsibilities and create an environment that promotes learning, socializing, and serving our

community.

Lastly, as President of this high-achieving organization, I could not be prouder of the wonderful

members who contribute to all our accomplishments over this past year.

Sincerely,

Hailey Ketchum

President

Eta Alpha Theta Chapter of Phi Beta Lambda

Recruitment Activities Recruitment season is one of our

highlights every semester, and the past

two semesters have been noteworthy for

our chapter. Our recruitment process this

year in part included marketing ourselves

as “collegiate FBLA” due to Missouri’s

high FBLA membership. In addition, we

explained that all careers are connected

with business which convinced many that

joining PBL would an excellent

investment of their time. Below is a list of our typical recruitment events coordinated this year by

our Vice President of New Membership Kelsey Beasley.

Facebook event. Members invite their friends, and updates are posted there.

Publication. The Vice President of Public Relations designs the recruitment poster which

includes our recruitment schedule. We printed 100 posters this fall and 75 this spring.

Speaking in classes. Executive members and active members speak for approximately

five minutes in a class about our organization. Our speakers wear PBL shirts and bring flyers.

Activities fair. Students who are interested in joining a new organization visit tables of

various organizations. At our table, we have our banner, some flyers, candy, a couple chapter

promotional items, and our NLC trophies to capture any student’s attention.

Information nights. Prospective members are encouraged to attend one of the sessions

during which a brief overview of the organization is provided. Member applications are

distributed and collected at each session.

Meet the chapter. Prospective members socialize with the current members via

conversations, icebreakers, and other fun activities.

Chapter meeting. Potential members attend a chapter meeting to become familiar with

our organizational procedures. A professional speaker is invited, and refreshments are served.

Interviews. Potential pledges who completed their applications before the deadline are

interviewed to ensure their compatibility with PBL.

Invite-Only dinner. Dinner is provided by the executive members for the successful

applicants.

Pledge requirements. All pledges must fulfill the requirements listed below in order

become active and participating members of the organization:

Leadership Development Bylaws. The constitutional bylaws stated for our

Eta Alpha Theta Chapter of PBL are the foundation of

our weekly meetings. All chapter, pledge, committee,

and executive meetings are conducted in accordance to

its guidelines. The constitution ensures that we conduct

our business efficiently and professionally – using

Robert’s Rule of Order to regulate parliamentary

procedure – as monitored by our Secretary Taylor N.

Libbert and later Joshua Gregg.

Elections. Nominations and elections for the

new officer team are conducted near the conclusion of

each academic year. (If an officer graduates at the end

of a fall semester, then elections are held then as well.) Active and pledge members who have

fulfilled their membership requirements are eligible to vote and run for any officer position.

Before elections, each candidate gives a two-minute speech and participates in a three-minute

question and answer session with the chapter. Candidates are then asked to leave the room while

the rest of the chapter holds a five-minute discussion of all the candidates for that position.

Candidates re-enter the room to cast their votes with the chapter. The current secretary counts the

votes and the current president announces the name of the newly elected officers. No

promotional items are created or distributed by the candidates.

Officer positions. To provide more leadership opportunities, the executive team is

divided into nine positions: President, Vice President of Professional Development, Vice

President of New Membership, Vice President of Fundraising, Vice President of Community

Service, Vice President of Chapter Involvement, Vice President of Public Relations, Secretary,

and Treasurer. The positions are designed to enhance communication and to promote ideas

between fellow executive members. This is necessary due to the structure of professional

business world.

Committees. Our members gain leadership experience and improve their transferable

skills through the attribution of serving on one of six committees under the direction of the

respected vice president. The Professional Development Committee leads at least one workshop

a semester. The New Membership Committee assists with pledge meetings. The Fundraising,

Community Service, and Chapter Involvement Committees each prepare events for the chapter.

Lastly, the Public Relations Committee takes pictures and prepares social media posts.

BSEC. Public relations is also built through the Business Student Executive Council

(BSEC) sponsored by our School of Business. One or two executive members from business

organizations like Phi Beta Lambda, Alpha Kappa Psi, Delta Sigma Pi, Beta Alpha Psi, and

Enactus work with the Dean Deb Kirby to promote events sponsored by the School and to

evaluate its current courses and professors. One

such event was Financial Literacy Week from

February 8-12. Every spring, BSEC chooses an

Outstanding Professor and honors those who

are retiring at the Recognition Dinner. Our PBL

members who merit recognition at SLC for

their event(s) are invited to the dinner as well.

6

Career Exploration and Preparation Truman PBL holds career preparation in the business world with the utmost regard.

Therefore, each semester our Vice President of Professional Development Jessica Sebek hosts

new events that cater towards developing industry skills and increasing industry knowledge.

Professional speakers. Business professionals present over their careers to our members

along with the crucial skills they have refined in the attainment of their current organizational

role. In addition to the speakers’ useful skills, they also inform members about their job market

and what students need to improve to stay competitive. Our speakers have represented many

companies like Edward Jones, Deloitte, and US Cellular among many others. Members also

network with these professionals after meetings and gain industry exposure.

Workshops. We alternate speakers with workshops to give variety to our meetings and to

give members the opportunity to practice skills. Some of our workshops have included

networking (pictured below), emotional intelligence, motivation, and social media skills.

Career Center. Every semester, we encourage members to attend the career fair, graduate school

expo, and alumni mock interview. They also review our resumes, present a workshop for our

chapter, and provide MBTI personality evaluations and other career advice for students.

University events. At the end of every meeting, members can announce other events

happening on campus. For example, we encourage members to attend Financial Week

workshops hosted by our School of Business as well as Delta Sigma Pi’s “Brand and Dress”

workshop. Our international members typically promote diversity events such as International

Idol because cultural awareness is incredibly important in the ever-growing global market.

Lastly, our Student Affairs Office implemented this spring semester the Inclusivity Project to

promote diversity inclusion which some of our members also attend.

Business Partnerships

This spring semester, PBL collaborated with the

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) by asking

members to prepare tax forms for students and community

members around Kirksville. Our participating members were

trained by VITA volunteers before spending several days

providing tax services. Furthermore, our members have

gained valuable face-time with business professionals from

Edward Jones. These professional have spoken at our chapter

meetings and are either personal contacts from a member who

interned there in St. Louis or Truman alumni. Lastly, members

worked with a variety of business professionals for Missouri

FBLA’s District Leadership Conference (DLC) Grading Day and with a nearby DLC.

School of Business grant. Truman State University’s School

of Business awarded Truman PBL a $1,000 grant to subsidize for

travel, lodging, and registration costs for the 2015 National

Leadership Conference (NLC) in Chicago, IL.

Student Senate. The Grants & Sponsorships Committee of

Truman State University reviewed our request for funding for the

2016 State Leadership Conference (SLC) in Springfield, MO. The

chapter regularly covers the members’ registration fee of $65 per

member to encourage everyone to participate in this conference.

Estimating 40 members are competing on the events, we requested

$2,600 grant which was approved.

Krispy Kreme. We collected doughnut orders from

September 27 to October 12. Each member was required to sell at

least 3 dozens of donuts at $8 per dozen with a $4.50 profit margin.

Members who sold less than three dozen were also required to sell

at a table for one hour on October 19 which was also the pick-up

day. In total, we sold over 170 dozens of donuts and raised a total of

$809: $756 from preorder sales and $53 from table sales.

Soup sale. On November 1, we made tomato soup, chicken soup, and brownies, and we

sold a package of soup with a piece of brownie and a couple crackers for $5. Each member

contributed an hour by either cooking, packaging, or delivering. We spent one week from

October 26 to November 1 taking orders. As a result, we sold 25 packages and raised $86 profit

from a profit margin of $3.44 per package.

Valentine’s 2.0. March 14 in Japanese culture is known as “White Day” for which people

give a valentine to those who gave them one. We notably changed the name to market it more

successfully. For this event, we made packages that include a personalized card, chocolate, and a

white rose. These packages were $3 each with $1.40 profit margin. Our total profit was $231.

Shakespeare’s Pizza. This is a popular restaurant in Columbia, MO, located 93 miles

south of Kirksville. We are planning a pre-order fundraiser through them to sell their regionally

iconic pizzas. We anticipate selling them for $10 with a $4 profit margin. We made $272.

Public Relation Activities and Chapter Publicity Social events. Public relations begins with our members, and social events foster the best

relations between members. These interactive and fun events build lasting relationships to help

our chapter become a stronger team. Each semester, our Vice President of Chapter Involvement

Jace Galang has planned 7-9 social events as italicized below.

Meet the chapter. Current members participate in a social event with potential pledges to

build more bonds and to hopefully encourage them to join our organization. In the fall, the event

was an outdoor volleyball game. In the spring, it was a trivia night.

Sardines. This modified game of hide-and-seek took place in one of our academic

buildings, Baldwin Hall, after-hours.

Digital scavenger hunt. Members were given a list of items of which to take pictures

around the campus. In one hour, the members had to collect as many pictures as possible and

then report back to the starting place. The team with the most photos won PBL attire.

9

StrEat clean-up. Members collected

trash along Marion Street in Kirksville before

dining at a local restaurant. This event occurs in

both the fall and spring semesters.

Haunted house. Each member paid a

small entrance fee to a fraternity on campus

which donated the proceeds to the philanthropy

of their choice. In return people entered their

haunted house.

Conferences. Members bonded over

travel, food, workshops, and competitions of

NFLC 2015 and SLC 2016.

Bowling. Members went to the local

bowling alley and displayed their skill.

Board game night. Members enjoyed

playing Apples to Apples and joking with each other.

Karaoke night. Simply by connecting a computer and a few microphones, our members

became karaoke superstars and sang the night away.

Easter egg hunt. Members were broken into teams and sent to look for plastic Easter eggs

with point values in them. The team with the most points among them won a prize.

Indoor soccer. To appeal to our more athletic PBL members, we split the members into

teams and played an amiable game of soccer in the Student Recreation Center.

Waffle cone Wednesday. Our local TCBY has a promotion every Wednesday where

waffle cones are $1. This fun, cheap event allowed students to take a quick break from the

stressors of their week and enjoy some ice cream with their PBL chapter.

Attire. Our on-campus chapter publicity is garnered mainly through our attire. Each

semester, we designed a new shirt for members to purchase. When we have workshops at

meetings, we encourage members to wear FBLA-PBL apparel. When we have guest speakers at

our chapter meetings, members wear business casual attire with their PBL pin. This is typically

on the first Monday of every month because we require members to wear business casual with

their pin all day.

Social media. We updated our chapter

website at the start of each semester to include a

revised constitution, officer photos, and

recruitment information. Since the beginning of

this academic year, our Truman Phi Beta Lambda

Facebook page has gone from 80 likes to 123.

Our @TrumanPBL Twitter account has also

grown from 71 followers to 163 with most of the

new followers being business representatives.

This year, we created our @TrumanStatePBL

Instagram account which now has 107 followers

and has had engagement from chapters across the

nation - including the @fbla_pbl National Office.

ACTIVITIES TO BENEFITS OTHER INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS

State and National Projects State projects. Missouri’s project this year was “Connect for Kids” where chapters were

encouraged to donate toys to children in hospitals to improve their stays. Truman PBL gathered

items on-campus and at Wal-Mart and delivered them to the local children’s hospital. In

addition, our chapter participated in another FBLA DLC Grading Day sponsored by Missouri

FBLA-PBL to aide with our SLC expenses. Fifteen chapter members graded the submissions of

Graphic Design and Website Design from all 20 Missouri districts. Finally, we connected with

our Missouri Vice President of Membership –

who also serves as the National PBL North

Central Region Vice President – Kimberly

Clark who was the guest speaker.

National projects. This year was the first

time our chapter participated in the Chapter

Challenge. We were awarded Super Sweeps for

our recruitment efforts, Non-Stop November for

our March of Dimes efforts, and Action

Awareness for our career education efforts. We

have also completed the Outstanding Chapter

Recognition project. Furthermore, Alexis

registered for the Director level of the Career &

Membership Achievement Program (CMAP), and Taylor completed both the Executive and

President levels of the CMAP this year. She has served as a co-designer for the National PBL

Competitive Events Application Committee.

March of Dimes. Truman PBL dedicates one service event to March of Dimes each

semester. In the past, we have raised funds through the sale of wristbands, mugs, mug holders,

ribbons, ring pops, etc. This fall, we had custom made “I support Healthy Babies” shirts to sell.

This spring, we collected donations in baby bottles.

Other Community Service Projects Drives. During this academic year, Truman PBL has united on behalf of various

organizations and charities within the community as coordinated by our Vice President of

Community Service Alexis Caraker. This autumn,

members collected $24 dollars and approximately 30

pounds of food for the Food Bank of Central and

Northeast Missouri in Columbia. Near Thanksgiving,

the chapter donated 22 packages of various paper

products including plates, cups, and napkins for

Helping Hands, a local mission in downtown

Kirksville. Finally, we also donated 36 school items

to the Kirksville Elementary School this December.

Project Homeless Connect. This is an event in

which homeless community members receive services

and get in contact with organizations and programs

11

that can assist with their current situation

and needs. Members helped serve food

and guide clients through the event.

StrEat Clean-Up. Truman PBL

has worked in both fall and spring to keep

our adopted nine blocks of Marion Street

clean of debris and litter before bonding

over food at a local restaurant.

MLK Day Collegiate Challenge.

Our Serve Center and Multicultural

Affairs Office hosts this annual event to

commemorate Martin Luther King Day. It

is a “day on and not a day off.” This is one of our most important service events because it

contributes greatly to the community and helps our members build teamwork skills. Our

members at various locations helped sort cloths, paint with the elderly, and assisted with English

acquisition among other activities.

Fuzzy Fest. Truman PBL raised funds for the Adair County Humane Society through a

series of yard games in hopes that it will bring the community together. Food was provided for

participants as well.

Big Event. The Big Event is an annual campus-wide event in which our members

regularly participate sponsored by our Center for Student Involvement (CSI). Students volunteer

in the spring to assist the community by tidying up, yard work, and with other activities that the

elderly have difficulty. Another common activity includes adding a fresh coat of paint.

CONFERENCES AND RECOGNITION

Participation in PBL Conferences SLC. Missouri Phi Beta Lambda’s 56th annual State Leadership Conference (SLC) was

held on April 11, 2015, in Springfield at

the University Plaza Hotel and Convention

Center. We had 22 registrants and 15

attendees. Our chapter earned Hollis &

Kitty Guy Gold Seal Chapter Award of

Merit along with other awards.

NLC. We had four members –

Hailey Ketchum, Taylor N. Libbert,

Rebecca Stearns, and Ashton Wolter – in

seven events attend the 2015 National

Leadership Conference (NLC) in Chicago,

Illinois. They connected with the future

leaders of the organization.

12

NFLC. Nine members attend NFLC 2015 in Omaha,

NE. They enjoyed exploring the city and attending workshops

on fundraising, recruitment, networking, resumes, LinkedIn,

and national programs. In addition, Taylor presented a

community service workshop entitled "Voluntary Advantage."

Other conferences. Taylor N. Libbert serves as the

Missouri FBLA-PBL Conference Assistant. In her role, she

presented a PBL recruitment workshop at the FBLA

Executive Leadership Conference (ELC) at the University of

Missouri (MU) in Columbia during July 2015. She also

planned open testing and gave a campaigning workshop for

the Show-Me Leadership Conference (SMLC) at Six Flags St.

Louis in October. Two other members attended that conference. Next, she assisted Lisa

Hofstetter with her 2016 District 3 Leadership Conference (DLC) in Kirksville by judging

Emerging Business Issues and Website Design, and she served as an administrator for

Management Decision Making at the 2016 District 8 Leadership Conference in Chesterfield.

Lastly, she worked as the Prep Room Coordinator for the 2016 Missouri FBLA SLC and assisted

with the 2016 Missouri Professional Division meeting.

Other Chapter and Individual Recognitions Earned Recognition of all the hard work our members do each

PBL season is of utmost importance. Without our members, our

chapter would cease to exist, and we emphasize this importance

at the end of each semester with a banquet.

We start the banquet by playing a slideshow of photos

taken of our members at various social, service, and professional

development events throughout the semester. While the slideshow

is playing, we invite our members to share a meal to celebrate

another successful PBL semester. Afterwards, the president gives

a speech reviewing all the things that we achieved as a chapter

over the semester.

Nonetheless, we also take the time to recognize a few

other members who went above and beyond. We give

personalized certificates to the Most Outstanding Pledge Member,

Most Outstanding Active Member, Most Outstanding in Service,

and Most Outstanding in Fundraising. The award for Most Outstanding Pledge Member –

Garland Johnson – is given to the member of the newest pledge class who exceeded expectations

in manner and promptness. The award for Most Outstanding Active Member – Stuti Chugh – is

given to the current active member who again exceeded regular expectations. The award for

Most Outstanding in Service – Clara Miller-Broomfield – is given to the active or pledge

member who completed the most service. The Most Outstanding in Fundraising – Ngan Cu –

goes to the active or pledge member who raised the most money for the chapter.

In addition to these awards, we give graduation cords and small gifts to the members who

are graduating each semester. We ask for the soon-to-be graduates to share their favorite PBL

memories and as well as for other members to share stories and sentiments about the graduates

themselves. We also raffle off prizes to a select number of members who do extra small tasks

throughout the semester, such as helping set up the banquet or assisting take down after events.
