Bowling Green, Ky. - For the second year in a row, the WKU chapter of Beta Alpha Psi (Accounting Honorary for Schools of Business accredited by the AACSB) has been judged to be a “Superior” chapter.

Superior is the top achievement level attainable for Beta Alpha Psi chapters. In order to meet the requirements for 2005-2006 Superior status, local BAP members participated in national meetings in San Francisco, Nashville, and Minneapolis. Fifteen professional presentations were made to the group during the year by CPA firms, the FBI, the acting CFO of the city of Bowling Green, among others.

Service activities such as a canned food drive and College Bowl for Kids were performed. Finally, meet and greet activities to promote career networking between CPA firms and the Department’s students, such as the 17th annual “Meet the Firms” Fall career fair and the Spring Banquet were conducted.

The officer team for this successful year consisted of Lauren Hilgadiack of Portland, TN (President), Carrie Dawson of Portland, TN (Vice President), Tabatha Little of Bowling Green, KY (Secretary), Tiffany Carroll of Brownsville, KY (Treasurer), Seth Massa of Bowling Green, KY (Fall Publicity Chair), and Amanda Lawrence of Alvaton, KY (Spring Publicity Chair).
