    Just sharing a few of the ways I am aware of that will benefit participants in an online community. Please feel free to add your suggestions as well!

    Connect - The community provides an easy way to make and keep connections with BGS members from around the world
    Continue - Keep in touch with the people you have met, as fellow students, GLS participants, and in other ways
    Learn - Get information and inspiration from others
    Mentorship - Find more experienced members who can act as an informal or formal mentor to you in your career - or be a Mentor yourself!
    Stay current - Learn what's current with other professionals in your field. Best practices, innovative ideas, useful articles, conferences, etc. 
    Travel Smarter - Heading for a place you've never visited before? Where should you stay, dine, visit? Get inside tips from people who live there.

    I am delighted that Beta Gamma Sigma is moving forward with this dedicated community platform. It is going to give a truer and deeper meaning to our concept of being a "Member for Life" of the only honor society to represent the "Best in Business".

    As the community grows, and more members join and participate, I hope everyone will benefit from the ability to access archived knowledge, discover subject matter experts on a wide-ranging list of topics, gain access to far-flung members throughout the world, create focused groups for community, collaboration and communication surrounding specific topics and interest areas, and (very important to me and the rest of us at the International Headquarters) create a real dialogue with the organizational leadership so that we continue to meet your needs and to learn from you how to be the best society there is!
