Presidential Address

 
Dear ABSA & Prospective Members,

Welcome to ABSA! I am very excited to serve as your  ABSA President for the 2008-2009 school year! When I walked into my first ABSA meeting freshman year, I remember feeling so intimidated by the officers and their business-professional attire. I never pictured myself becoming president, but the fact that ABSA is so wonderful proved otherwise.

So what makes ABSA so wonderful? Members just like YOU.

Here, you will gain great leadership skills, develop professionally, and have the upper hand in your career search.  You will have the opportunity to attend our endless socials, play for our intramural teams, volunteer around Austin, compete in our family events, and much, much more.

However, it's the ABSA memories and friends you make during these events that will stay with you after graduation. ABSA owes its success for the past 21 years to members like you. You are the foundation of our professional, social, and philanthropic goals.

As your president, my goal is to provide an atmosphere in ABSA that fosters professional, personal, and social growth, so that you will be able to get anything and everything you have ever wanted from an organization.

To all of our prospective members, we understand that you have many different choices when it comes to joining an organization, and I encourage you to make ABSA that choice. Give us a chance, and you'll experience this wonderful organization firsthand.  And don't worry – you do not have to be a business major or Asian to join!

To all of our returning members, please continue to give back to the organization you've grown to love. We appreciate all the talent you have brought to ABSA because YOU have made ABSA what it is today. Every year brings new officers, members, and experiences, so come back and help us make this year even better than the last!

On behalf of the officer panel, I am honored and excited to serve you for the upcoming year. We will continue working hard to ensure that this year will be an amazing experience for everyone. Here's to another outstanding year with ABSA!

Best,

Jocelyn Lee
President 08-09
