(Marietta, Ga. – April 21, 2015) Three Chattahoochee Technical College students attended the 2015 Phi Beta Lambda State Leadership Conference at the Westin Atlanta Hotel on April 9-12, 2015. The conference is attended by many students from two-year and four-year colleges, including more than 280 competing in business events such as Accounting, Client Services, Word Processing and Social Media Campaign.
“Phi Beta Lambda provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate abilities and skills learned in the classroom,” said Lisa Houston, Business Administrative Technology Instructor and Phi Beta Lambda Organization Adviser. “We’re very proud of these three students on their accomplishments.”
At the State Conference Awards Banquet, Business and Administrative Technology student Kelly Beyermann of Woodstock received first place in Personal Finance and was nominated to Who’s Who in Georgia Phi Beta Lambda. Beyermann, along with fellow Business and Administrative Technology student Jessica Hollis of Villa Rica received second place in Business Ethics.
