Delaware Tech Students Elected National Officers for Business Honor Society
March 12, 2026
Three Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ students were recently elected to officer positions for the international business honor society, Alpha Beta Gamma (ABG), at the organization’s National Leadership Conference in Charleston, South Carolina.
Kalyn Bannister was voted in as president and Cheyenne Young and Irelynn Farrington were both elected to the National Student Executive Committee. All three women are pursuing their Associate of Science in General Studies at the Terry Campus in Dover.
“Delaware Tech holds three out of five [ABG officer positions],” said Amber Bradley, Delaware Tech’s ABG advisor. “I am super proud of them because it’s a big deal.”
In addition to being elected president, Bannister also received the Ester Cross-Carter Memorial Essay award for her essay titled “Helping Others.” She will receive a $300 book stipend and a framed certificate.
“I look forward to representing Delaware Tech on a national level, and I hope to make my family and my school proud,” she said.
ABG recognizes students who demonstrate academic excellence by completing 12 credit hours with a minimum 3.0 or equivalent GPA and are enrolled in business and professional programs. This year was the first time in about 10 years that Delaware Tech students attended the ABG conference.
“Being at the conference was a very special thing, getting to meet other students from different colleges, and hearing their presentations also gave me insight to how they view the world a little differently,” Young said.
The conference included networking opportunities, professional development seminars, and presentations from students and faculty followed by an awards banquet. The national officers elected at the conference will take on various leadership responsibilities for the honor society and assemble in virtual meetings held monthly.
“Since I have been elected as part of the new National Student Executive Committee, I can take on a more direct role to aid our honor society, college, and community,” Farrington said. “I am delighted to know that I can serve as a national officer alongside my fellow chapter officers and bring Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ back into the spotlight.”
