NABA Baruch 2017 Awards Dinner Booklet 04.26

39th Annual Awards Dinner President, NABA Baruch Chapter Shantel Deleon It is an honor to welcome you to NABA’s 39th Awards Dinner. NABA Baruch is one of the largest and strongest chapters in the nation. Here at the Baruch chapter we focus heavily on professionalism, mentorship, scholarship, and service. This year’s theme is “Heighten Your Horizon, Dare to Excel Beyond the Possibilities”. Through the support that you provide our students have been able to achieve so much in such a short amount of time. Our success is due in part to you. We could not be more grateful to have your continuous support and guidance each and every single year. I would like to personally thank our dedicated alumni. You are the backbone of our chapter and it is your legacy that we continue to carry on. We also appreciated that our corporate partners understand the importance of diversity and the value of our students – you believe in their futures and you have opened doors like no other. I would like to thank NABA NY and CUNY who are always cheering us on and involved in our growth as a chapter. I am more than confident that the next executive board will continue to uphold the legacy of the NABA Baruch Chapter. These students are more than deserving of their roles and will take our chapter to the next level. It is an honor and privilege to serve as this chapter’s president and to build upon its legacy. I will forever embody the motto ”Lifting As We Climb”.
