Lambda Beta Society (ΛΒ) is an American honor society that recognizes undergraduate achievement in respiratory care related colleges. It was formed in 1986 and has chartered more than 150 chapters in the United States.

History

Lambda Beta Society was formed in October 1986.[1] It is a national honor society that recognizes undergraduate achievement in respiratory care related colleges.[1]

By January 1988, the society had chartered 27 chapters.[2] It is sponsored by the American Association for Respiratory Care, the American Respiratory Care Foundation, the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory, and National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC).[3][4] It is governed by an eleven-member board of directors.[3]

Lambda Beta was registered as a nonprofit corporation in January 2010.[5] It has chartered over 150 chapters in the United States.[6] Its national headquarters is at 10801 Mastin Street in Overland Park, Kansas.[7][5]

Symbols

The name Lamba Beta was chosen to represent the goals of sustaining “Life" and "Breath”.[3][6] The society's motto is "Life and Breath". The society's colors are blue and green.[8] Its insignia is a key with the Greek letters ΛΒ.[3]

Its publication is Lambda Beta Newsletter.[7]

Activities

Lambda Beta awards four annual scholarships to students of institutions where it has chapters.[9][10] The H. Frederick Helmholz, MD Scholarship recognizes an original narrative review of literature related to respiratory care.[10][9] The NBRC Leadership Award is presented for academic leadership and community service.[9][10] The CoARC Stephen P. Mikles, EdD, RRT, FAARC Media Award recognizes a presentation on respiratory care.[9][10] The Brad Leidich Memorial Scholarship is for a first-generation student who is seeking an associate degree in respiratory therapy.[10]

Membership

Membership is open to undergraduate students studying respiratory care who are in the top 25 percent of their class, after completing half of their coursework.[11][12][13] Members are nominated by existing members or by faculty.[6] Membership categories include students, faculty, and national honorary members.[3]
