[MBA-FT-Students] Announcements: MBASA Executive Committee Vacancies & Updates

[Paul Ballenger]

Dear Tigers,

First, I would like to thank everyone who was able to attend yesterday’s
MBASA meeting.  Thank you!  If you were unable to attend this meeting, then
I hope you will be able to attend our future meetings.  The MBASA's main
goal is to provide programming and activities that interest you.
Therefore, I encourage everyone to take an active role in shaping this
aspect of your MBA experience by participating in the MBASA.



To that end, I have several announcements regarding filling the MBASA’s
Executive Committee, registering for OrgSync, and participating in
Toastmasters International.

then please email (pballen at clemson.edu) and let me know which position(s)
you are interest in filling.  At this juncture, the Executive Committee is
looking to appoint members; however, if more than one person is interested
in filling a particular position, then we may have a formal election.



*OrgSync Registration*



Graduate Student Government (GSG) is requesting that all student
organizations use the program, "OrgSync" to manage their activities.
 “OrgSync is an online organization management system that is now available
for all students and student leaders on campus.  This new system provides a
platform with more than 35 tools that helps student leaders more
effectively lead and manage their student organizations.”



Please take some time to join our MBASA group, “MBA Student Association,”
by visiting http://www.clemson.edu/campus-life/student-orgs/orgsync.html,
or http://www.orgsync.com/.  If you have any questions, issues, or concern,
then please feel free to contact me.  Thank you for your cooperation.





*Toastmasters International*



If you are interested in improving your communication skills, then the
MBASA invites you to join Toastmasters International.  “Toastmasters
International is a non-profit educational organization that teaches public
speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of meeting
locations.”  Their website is http://www.toastmasters.org.



Since there are several Toastmasters clubs in Greenville, the MBASA is
working on establishing a relationship with a local chapter to benefit
you.  In order to move forward with our Toastmasters Initiative, the MBASA
is seeking feedback from all interested students.  If you are interested in
joining Toastmasters International, then please send me an email indicating
your desire to participate.
