What is the advantage of attending?
Not only is Convention a fun opportunity for you to meet with other Betas across the state, but it's a great opportunity to "build your resume" for the scholarship opportunities National Beta provides. Essentially, the more active you are in Beta activities, the better it looks on your "resume." Being able to put that your were a "State Winner" or even a "National Winner" is a HUGE deal.
Service Hours
Students will receive service hours for participating in convention.
