In 2002, local NBMBAAÒchapters (Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Houston and Dallas) established the Leaders of Tomorrow® (LOT) Student Case Competition to increase student participation in LOT Program activities; improve the student’s analytical and presentation skills; and increase interaction with other students in LOT Programs across the country. The four chapters also wanted to provide an alternative resource for corporate sponsors and higher education institutions to recruit high school talent, while helping to support the goals of the LOT Program and the Organization.

The aforementioned objectives were met during the first competition in Atlanta, by awarding scholarships to two winning teams - in the amount $400 - giving students an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge, problem-solving skills, analytical proficiency and presentation abilities to corporate executives and professors judging the competition.

The LOT Case Competition has since developed into a three day event, where students participate in a college tour, an awards ceremony and are provided opportunities to interact with their peers in a collegiate setting. Since the initial competition, participation and scholarship funding for the LOTÒCase Competition has expanded to include more than 20 chapters. Scholarship awards for the winning teams have increased considerably, with the help of our sponsor Exxon Mobil.

The LOT® Case Competition’s location rotates yearly and is supported by a local chapter and held at a local university. To date, the competition has been held in the cities listed below.

The 2010 LOT Case Competition will be held June 25th – 27th at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida. Atlanta, Georgia Washington, DC Richmond, Virginia Dallas, Texas Houston, Texas Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Columbus, Ohio Detroit, Michigan.
