Good Day Chapter Members!

HERE for your next Exec Board for our UTK Chapter of Gamma Beta Phi! There are several position that are open, so write-in your name!
Candidate for UTK Chapter of Gamma Beta Phi President: Madyson Stuart - I am from Cosby, TN (small town right outside of Gatlinburg). This is my second-year at UT, but due to dual enrollment, and a heavy amount of hours, I am classified
as a Junior and will be graduating a year early. Before COVID, I was the 2019-2020 Division 5B Lieutenant Governor on the Kentucky-Tennessee Board of Key Club International. Key Club was very important to me in high school, and I was sad when I found out that
UT's Circle K no longer existed and the Knoxville Kiwanis Club had no interest in helping me restart the chapter when I reached out. That was a huge responsibility, and I know that with that experience, I would have no problem leading this club. I found my
place on campus that I was searching for within this club. Leadership, commitment, and service are so important to me, and I hope to be able to lead again during my last year of undergrad. I plan to continue to communicate with Keep Knoxville Beautiful if
we enjoy their partnership on the 22nd. I have the skills to plan these types of events, and more, sitting in my back pocket. I would love to be considered for Chapter President.
Candidate for UTK Chapter of Gamma Beta Phi, Vice-President - Bridget Bireley - I am a sophomore majoring in mathematics with a minor in secondary education. I am from Hendersonville, TN, but I have previously lived in
Louisiana, Florida, and Indiana. Dancing, research, and spending time outdoors are a few of my favorite hobbies. I try to maintain an active role here at UTK! Current leadership experiences of mine include Secretary, choreographer, and
President-Elect of Vols en Pointe, as well as choreographer for BOSS Dance Company. Additionally, I am a member of the 1794 Honors Program and the National Society of Leadership and Service. I am extremely eager to be elected Vice President of Gamma Beta Phi!
Service has always been a top value in my life; I want to give back to the communities that have already given so much to me. As a diligent, organized, creative, and detail-oriented individual, I will maintain all expectations assigned to my role. I have previous
experience from other organizations in planning large scale events, member communication, leading meetings, budget management, as well as planning chapter meetings for GBP and other organizations. Serving GBP with its best interest in mind is my main goal.
I look forward to an amazing year of service, scholarship, and character!
