Hello! My name is Marilyn Buresh and I am your UNL Chapter President. I’m a junior studying Management with a minor in Communication Studies. This will be my sixth year being involved with FBLA-PBL. I joined in 2006 at Lincoln Southwest High School and have held multiple leadership positions throughout the years. This organization has given me countless opportunities to grow personally and professionally. If you know one thing about me, it’s that I love to travel, meet new people, and make friends and PBL is the perfect venue for this.

Outside of PBL I am involved in other organizations around campus and in the community. I am in the Cornhusker Marching Band’s drumline where I play cymbals. I serve as Property Manager for my sorority, Alpha Delta Pi, and am a marketing intern for Kaplan Test Prep. In my free time I mentor through TeamMates, dance, and read.

Hello, I am Tiffany Mewes-Dunn, your 2011-2012 UNL PBL Vice-President. I am currently a senior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I am obtaining a major in psychology and minors in business and Spanish.

My FBLA-PBL career began my junior year at Southern High School. I have since served several leadership roles and received numerous awards. Without a doubt, the organization has helped shape the individual I am today. Now I take this opportunity to shape the organization by increasing not only membership numbers but membership involvement.

In addition to PBL, I also write as an opinion columnist for the Daily Nebraskan and work at the University of Nebraska Foundation. I also spend time working in the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory on campus. Volunteering as an ambassador for EducationQuest is another occupant of my schedule. When I do have free time, I love to read, kayak, and bike.

My name is Eric Holley, I'm a sophomore Biochemistry major with minors in Math, Chemistry, Biology, and Energy Sciences. My goal after college is to get my PhD and to head my own research lab looking into alternative energy sources. If that doesn't pan out, then my back-up goal is to start my own candy store. I love to play basketball, golf, disc golf, tennis, and sand volleyball. I play a lot of video games and I love everything to do with music even though I'm not a very good musician. Lastly, I very much love and depend on my family and friends and I'm always open to more.

Hello! I am Katie Weander, Marketing Director for UNL PBL. I am a senior marketing major in the Raikes School of Computer Science and Management. FBLA-PBL has been a priority in my life since my freshman year of high school where I first experienced the benefits of networking, volunteering, and the thrill of leadership conferences. Throughout my seven years in this organization I have met so many extraordinary people and have grown so much from the business presentations, interview events, and networking opportunities.

Besides my role on the UNL leadership team, I serve on the state level as your Nebraska PBL Vice President of Communications. Outside of PBL, I intern at the University of Nebraska Foundation, am a teacher’s assistant for an introductory marketing class, and volunteer with my college youth group

This year I aim to stretch the PBL name and reputation further into our community. I hope to benefit our organization as local leaders, businesses, and all members of our area understand the importance of Phi Beta Lambda and the success of our chapter. From welcoming local entrepreneurs and alumni to our chapter events and meetings to enriching the reputation and following of UNL PBL, I strive to help our community grow from the accomplishments, energy, and talents our members bring whether it’s a keynote speech or a internship opportunity. Here’s to a remarkable 2011-2012 year as we enter the “Gateway to Greatness!” and celebrate Nebraska Phi Beta Lambda’s 50th year!
