National Beta members from Fulton County High School are celebrating their recent participation in the Regional Leadership Summit in Cape Girardeau, Mo. Sept. 25-26.
They were announced as national qualifiers of the following challenges: Project Proposal, Think Outside the Box, and Collaboration Connection.
National Beta Leadership Summits bring together students from multiple states for 1-2 day events. During that time, students work with interactive speakers who engage members through introspective exercises and team-building activities.
Clubs can also participate in team-based leadership challenges which test their communication, critical thinking, creativity, presentation, and collaboration skills. Their victories at this level provide the opportunity to compete at the national level. The Sr. Beta National Convention will be held at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., during the summer of 2025.
