A Welcome Statement from the SAM Flagler College
Chapter President-

Welcome new and returning students! I look forward to an eventful upcoming year. We have so much planned! As Flagler College students, we have the wonderful opportunity to be members of the oldest management club in the country. What started in 1983 as a vision became reality on January 1, 1984 when SAM International Headquarters chartered our SAM chapter. As one of the most accomplished SAM chapters in the country, we have won an unprecedented 8 national management case team championships, numerous outstanding chapter awards, the Outstanding New Chapter in the Nation award, and several outstanding SAM regional and national student awards. The success of our chapter has resulted directly from the dedication and commitment of members. Through their hard work we continue to give students the opportunity to gain real management experience for their future professions.


This year, we will be taking a greater stride in the management direction. We have recently obtained a partnership with a prominent local business to manage marketing for their online sales. This opportunity will allow members to further develop their management skills through real world experience. We will also be inviting several prominent speakers to share their experiences and insight with our members.

SAM is passionate about giving back to the community. We are regular volunteers of Habitat for Humanity, public forums at Flagler College, and the Boys and Girls Club of St. Augustine. In addition, we are partnering with Take Stock in Children to host a workshop teaching high school students business etiquette.

I encourage all undergraduates to join SAM, regardless of major. SAM helps to improve the professional quality of your performance. Whether you dream of managing your own business or just want to gain a competitive edge in the workplace, our SAM chapter can help. Hope to see you at our next meeting!

Sincerely,
Kaitlin Gardiner
Flagler College SAM President

We welcome all members to be part of the SAM legacy by collectively participating in our shared vision and reaching our goals of continuing what SAM stands for "increasing management skills and expertise through participation in programs and services designed to improve the professional quality of your  knowledge, performance, and ability".  SAM caters activities so members gain these necessary management skills needed for success in the workplace.
