Lehman Golden Key Chapter Wins International Award


he prestigious Key Chapter Award was presented recently to members of the Lehman College Chapter of Golden Key International Honour Society at the Golden Key International Conference, "Unlock the Possibilities," held in Atlanta, GA.

The selection of Key Chapter Award winners marks a 22-year tradition for the Society. The award honors chapters that have excelled in five major areas: communication, publicity, meeting management, chapter activities and leadership, as well as in participation in regional and international programs.

This year, the Lehman Chapter exemplified outstanding teamwork, dedication and collaboration with other student organizations on their campus. It also was engaged in a combination of service, academic, social and fund-raising activities throughout the year.

The Lehman chapter is definitely "Unlocking the Possibilities."

Delegates from the Lehman Chapter accepted the award at the International Conference awards luncheon in front of more than 800 delegates from around the world. All chapters may apply for this award; however, only the most outstanding chapter is selected to receive the honor. Prof. Fred Phelps (Psychology Department) and Haydee Acevedo (Business Office) serve as the advisors to the Lehman chapter.
