On March 25-27, 2010 Tulsa
Community College—Metro Campus students participated in the Oklahoma
FBLA—PBL 2010 State Leadership Conference in Norman, Oklahoma. TCC—
Metro took a total of twenty students to
the conference and brought home over
50 awards. Of the students who participated in the conference, nineteen of
them qualified for national competition.
Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) is the collegiate chapter of Future Business Leaders of America. Students who participate
in PBL are students who hope to be tomorrow’s business leaders in the Tulsa
Community. PBL is active in community
service projects, student learning activities, and competitive events so Oklahoma can be represented nationally in a
dignified, intelligent, and creative way.
PBL members who are winners at the
State Conference have the “competitive
edge,” as the best and brightest of PBL

convene to compete in leadership
events, share their successes, and learn
new ideas about shaping their career
future through workshops and exhibits at
the National Leadership Conference.
The PBL National Leadership
Conference is considered the pinnacle of
the PBL experience, especially for those
running for national office. PBL has
forged partnerships with industry leaders
to underwrite competitive events and
scholarships for students achieving national ranking. With more than 140 active members, Tulsa Community College—Metro Campus has the largest
membership of any college statewide
and ranks 6th nationally. This outranks
some of Oklahoma’s most prestigious
four-year universities! Local chapter advisors Mr. Mitchell Ober, Ms. Gae Hill
and Ms. Vonn Goolsby are attributed
with the success of the TCC—Metro
Chapter of PBL along with the support of
the entire Administrative Staff at TCC—
Metro. Without their guidance and
never-ending support, the student members would not know how to recruit
more business students to participate in
this exciting endeavor nor have the support needed to effectively raise funds for
these events.
Without the support of local
business and industry leaders in Tulsa,
TCC—Metro would never have made this
great accomplishment. PBL hopes to
continue to rely on your support. The
photo above depicts the TCC—Metro
student winners, along with their
awards. The students eligible for national competition in Nashville placed
first, second, or third in his or her competitive event.
