Shianne Nunley was chosen as a Leadership Representative.  She is one of two who will represent the state of Tennessee at nationals this year.  She will also attend other Leadership summits and speak to other students about what it means to be a leadership representative.

Students selected will collaborate with fellow members, compete in a collaborative project on-site, as well as serve as a representative the following year. These appointed National Representatives will also help facilitate a Leadership Session at the following year’s National Convention.

National Beta Leadership Summits bring together students from multiple states for 1-2 day events.

Their [victories] at this level provide the opportunity to compete at the national level. National Convention will be held at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville during summer 2023.
