65 Years of Service

e e

The 2009-2011 biennium marks the 65th anniversary of Tau Beta Sigma, giving us the opportunity tocelebrate our history while looking to our future. Fittingly, a major area of focus during this bienniumhas been the Sorority’s growth and long term planning. In addition to advancing programming in linewith our ideals, one of the first items of business was strategic planning by the National Council to review the Sorority’s mission and vision and update them to be in line with current and future operations for the next 5-10 years. Once the revised mission and vision were set, the Board of Trusteesand ΤΒΣAA Executive Committee paralleled their work by actively engaging in strategic planning. The results for all 3 groups were strategic action plans consisting of short and long termgoals and action steps to achieve them. Action has been taken for each, with some being completedand others scheduled to come to fruition in the next 2-10 years.

As you read further into this report, you will learn more about how the National Council, Board ofTrustees and ΤΒΣAA Executive Committee have worked together as well as side-by-side to achieve organizational goals in areas such as growing membership and funds, improving internal and externalmarketing, enhancing leadership development and eliminating hazing. When looking at a 5-year and10-year timeline, we are thrilled with both the growth prospects as well as the programming we will beable to roll out to support the Sorority and our membership. We sincerely hope you are pleased withthe progress we cite in this report and we look forward to a productive 2011-2013 biennium.

Thank you to all of the wonderful volunteers that are working to grow our Sorority on all levels. Continue the wonderful work that you do and make it a personal goal to help promote our missionand vision by staying involved with Tau Beta Sigma whether you are an Active, Alumni, Life or Honorary member or a Friend.
