Two areas of improvement for SBMA are:
Intimidation Factor and Diversity
Intimidation Factor:
SBMA is looking to improve the disconnect between the E-Board and General Members. We have found that many General Members are intimidated by different aspects of SBMA, and we are looking to have a more inclusive environment and culture, which is easier said than done.
Diversity:
SBMA would like to have a more diverse board and would like our membership to be a more accurate representation of all students enrolled at the business college. If you have ideas on how to improve this area of improvement, please bring them to your interview.
If you have ideas on how to improve these two different areas, please be prepared to present your solutions during your board interview.
