Each year the FGCU Chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS)’s student officers select a prominent community member to recognize with an honorary membership into the international business honor society. Chapter Honorees must have achieved distinction primarily in business and administration and demonstrate those qualities that Beta Gamma Sigma fosters, including honor, wisdom, and earnestness.

This year, the chapter chose to recognize entrepreneur Bill Daubmann, founder and president of My Shower Door / D3 Glass, as the Beta Gamma Sigma Chapter Honoree for 2022.
