Chapter Programs
Leaders of Tomorrow Program
Chairperson: Allison Quick
Allow yourself a chance to pass along your knowledge to the next
generation of professionals through our Leaders of Tomorrow program. For
over a decade, this successful program has provided a positive influence
to average high school students who have exhibited leadership potential,
but require additional motivational factors in their lives to achieve
excellence. Our Local mentoring opportunities include tutoring, leading
workshops, chaperoning students on college tours and to the NBMBAA
Annual Conference, and administering scholarship programs for college
bound students.
We are accepting both new students and mentors to the program. Contact
the chairperson Allison Quick at

administration. Applicants must be full-time students who are permanent
residents of Florida. Scholarship awards are a minimum of $1,000 to the
undergraduate and $1,500 to the graduate student awardees. One of our
Scholarships is named in memory of Jacki Tuckfield, who was a member.
The process usually begins in late January with applications due in
April. The criteria include grades, extra curricular activities, and an
essay – with an optional interview. Chapter members may apply if they
meet the criteria.
Workshops and Seminars
Director: Dedrick Car
The South Florida Chapter conducts seminars and workshops aimed at the
development of the business professional. Topics presented in the past
include interviewing skills, resume-writing, decision-making and time
management. Over the current two year cycle, the focus of professional
development has been around leadership lessons (presented by leaders in
the community) and a leadership development series. A description of
both of these is as follows:

including topics such as:
