Leaders of Tomorrow Program
Allow yourself a chance to pass along your knowledge to the next generation of professionals through our Leaders of Tomorrow program. For over a decade, this successful program has provided a positive influence to average high school students who have exhibited leadership potential, but require additional motivational factors in their lives to achieve excellence. Our local mentoring opportunities include tutoring, leading workshops, chaperoning students on college tours and to the NBMBAA Annual Conference, and administering scholarship programs for college bound students. We are accepting both new students and mentors to the program. Contact the chairperson Franklin Fletcher at leaders@nbmbaasfl.com for more information.
Scholarship Program
Each year the South Florida Chapter awards scholarships to both undergraduate and graduate minority students studying business administration. Applicants must be full-time students who are permanent legal residents of Florida. Scholarship awards are a minimum of $1,000 to the undergraduate and $1,500 to the graduate student awardees. We have two named scholarships – one in memory of Jacki Tuckfield, who was a chapter member (now deceased) and the other in the name of Joyce Harrigan, former founder and Director of the chapter’s Leaders of Tomorrow Program. The process usually begins in February with applications due in May. The criteria include grades, extra curricular activities, and an essay – with an optional interview. Chapter members may apply if they meet the criteria.
Workshops/Seminars
The South Florida Chapter conducts seminars and workshops aimed at the development of the business professional. Topics presented in the past include interviewing skills, resume-writing, decision-making and time management. Over the current two year cycle, the focus of professional development has been around leadership lessons (presented by leaders in the community) and a leadership development series. A description of both of these is as follows.
Membership
Membership is the primary source and our primary customer in serving our Chapter mission to lead in the creation of economic and intellectual wealth for the South Florida community. The Membership committee enhances membership growth.
Networking Committee
The Networking committee creates opportunities and an atmosphere in which members can get acquainted with each other and our corporate partners, both on a business and a social level. It also assists members seeking employment via email referrals as well as direct recommendations.
Communications
The South Florida Chapter understands the benefits of communications. The e-Newsletter is one of the effective vehicles the Chapter uses to communicate information to our members, corporate partners, potential members, potential partners and the entire community. You are invited to submit an article to the newsletter committee. We are also present on Facebook and Twitter and have recently added our own Blog.
Golf Classic
The South Florida Chapter conducts an annual golf tournament to support our Scholarships and Leaders of Tomorrow youth program. Check our website each March to determine which Country Club will be the location for a great round of golf and networking takes place.
