Inaugural Event: A Look Inside Leadership | Thursday, March 7
(Leavenworth, Kan.)鈥擳he 花椒直播 is debuting a new chapter of student business organization, Phi Beta Lambda (PBL). PBL is the collegiate division of Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL), the world's oldest and largest international student business organization (founded in 1942).
"花椒直播 is the perfect fit for a chapter of PBL," said USM's PBL President Clayton Seward. "Faculty and staff are focused on building leadership skills and soft skills, and PBL is just one more way to enhance our academic experience and give us an edge鈥攔egardless of the profession we choose."
The group will kick off its establishment with an inspiring and applicable presentation from a former PBL National President Kimberly Clark: "A Look Inside Leadership." Students, faculty, and staff are welcome to join at 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 7 in the Keleher Learning Commons.
Clark, a native of Canton, Mo., thrived as an enthusiastic member of the FBLA and PBL. She was one of five students across the country to win a Distinguished FBLA Scholarship in high school, which prompted her to enroll in Culver-Stockton College. She was active in C-SC's PBL chapter鈥攁nd along with serving as a PBL National President, Clark held three national offices: North Central Region Vice President, National Secretary, and National President, and she was a two-term Missouri Vice President of Membership. Clark graduated with honors in 2018 from C-SC with a triple major in Political Science, Business Administration, and Finance, and a double minor in Public Relations and Corporate Leadership.
