Alyssa Budzisz is a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and is studying Human Resource Management. She joined Phi Beta Lambda in the fall of 2009 as a general member not knowing a large amount of what PBL was all about. Shortly after joining she met some of the utmost people that pushed her into running for local board and then following up onto state board. During her time as a member with the Whitewater local chapter she has served as the Zeta Mu chapter of Phi Beta Lambda Reporter and President. With those two terms under her belt she decided it was time to run for state board to continue enhancing PBL in a positive light! As your state secretary she would like to make conferences a more enjoyable experience by holding state wide events so everyone has the opportunity to meet someone outside of a conference and increase everyone’s networking skills.
