Betty DuVerger, MSEd Faculty Advisor, NABA Baruch College Chapter

Greetings NABA Members, Corporate Sponsors and Guests, It is a great honor and pleasure to welcome you to NABA Baruch’s 36th Annual Awards Dinner because you are an essential piece of the NABA Baruch Success story. During this time each year, Our Unified Vision bring us together to be inspired by the legacy of NABA, acknowledge the commitment of our professional members and sponsors and celebrate the successes of our students. On behalf of the undergraduate student chapter, thank you to our corporate sponsors who see the value of diversity in the work place. The pre-professional opportunities you provide our students and your generous financial contributions to NABA are investments in our future. Given our students are following the footsteps of our outstanding professional members who have paved the way, we are confident they will contribute to your organizations and in their chosen fields. The NABA New York Professional chapter members and Baruch Alumni exemplify dedication. Dedication to our organization; dedication to our students; and dedication to their careers. Merci! Graduating seniors, congratulations! Part of the Strategic Leadership plan is for you to join the professional chapter and the Baruch Alumni committee! Pat Johnson once reminded me that NABA is a lifetime commitment. The NABA Baruch Student Chapter E-board is a fine example of excellence. Under her leadership, Kenisha inspired a shared vision and the team and organization made many strides. We exceeded our membership target, observed an increase in members’ engagement with the chapter and an increase in pre-professional opportunities for our members. I am proud of the many accomplishments of our students, particularly the many freshmen who joined the chapter this year because you are the essential pieces of our continued success story. Warmest Regards, Betty DuVerger, MSEd NABA Baruch Faculty Advisor

Kenisha Subero President, NABA Baruch College Chapter

Greetings NABA Family, Faculty, Corporate Sponsors, and Guests: It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our 36th Annual Awards dinner on the behalf of the NABA Baruch executive board and members as we commend and recognize the key contributors to this year’s successes. This year’s theme is “Strategic Leadership: Creating a Unified Vision.” The NABA Baruch executive board has focused on instilling in our members, not only the tools needed to become professionally acute, but the sense of duty to give back and honor our organization’s motto Lifting As We Climb. Our chapter continues to be at the forefront in aiding African-American students on the Baruch campus to pursue their academic and professional endeavors. It has been my privilege to watch our members exhibit empowerment, leadership, service, and commitment and utilize the skills they have acquired at NABA events to secure internships and full-time positions with top firms. I am honored to have served as the President of this illustrious chapter. The smallest token of my appreciation is not enough to showcase the gratitude I feel from NABA’s contribution to my personal, academic and career goals. This chapter has guided me on a pathway that not only uplifts my professional aspirations, but one that has urged me to be a leader within my community. I would like to thank the NABA New York professional chapter for their devotion to the success of our members. They have continued to provide the support and training our members need for college and for Corporate America. Our corporate sponsors have gone above and beyond this year to provide opportunities to our members and because of this we will like to acknowledge them and show appreciation to the value they place on diversity and the changing corporate environment. The new leadership from the upcoming executive board has dedicated themselves to this chapter. I am most certain that they will maintain NABA Baruch’s robust culture on and off campus and further the legacy our chapter’s previous leadership have been able to build. Thank you for attending the 36th Annual Awards Dinner, I hope you enjoy your evening.
