u National American Miss is excited to feature Birkman ® consultant, Diane Van Zandt, this year at Nationals! This is a fabulous, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our older three age divisions.

Every JuniorTeen, Teen, and Miss NAM State Queen, along with every JuniorTeen, Teen, and Miss All-American Queen contestant will be taking part in the The Birkman Method ® as part of their national pageant experience. JuniorTeen, Teen, and Miss national participants competing only in the optional contests will also have the opportunity to take part in this amazing program!

Roger Birkman was the creator of this outstanding program. He had a passion for understanding people and for helping them cultivate better relationships, better careers, and better lives. He founded Birkman International in 1951, and this continues to be the mission of Birkman International today. The Birkman Method ® is a powerful tool that identifies a person’s passions, behaviors, motivations, and interests. Check it out at birkman.com and NAMbirkman.com !

“The Birkman ®” as it is often called, is used extensively by consultants, executives, and thought-leaders, as well as numerous school districts across the world. Including the individual basic profile report, Group Session, and Private Feedback Consultation, the assessment is normally priced at a total of $1,000. But, through this special opportunity, the individual basic profile report and group session are being provided for you at the national pageant for only $100. If you wish, you can add the Private Feedback Consultation for just $500. This deeply discounted pricing is being offered to our national pageant participants.

Certified Birkman ® consultant, Diane Van Zandt, will be attending the national pageant to conduct the Group Session seminar, which is included in your $100 fee. At the seminar, you will receive a personalized profile report explaining the results of the online assessment that you completed prior to the pageant. The personalized profile report will highlight your strengths, challenges, and be used to create your personalized job profile sheet. For the required fee of just $100, you will be able to take the online assessment and receive the resulting individual report that will help you make better life-changing choices! WHO PARTICIPATES? The Birkman Method ® is available only to JuniorTeen, Teen, and Miss age groups.

Birkman ® Personality Profile Assessment and Group Session - $100 fee: • Required for National American Miss queen competitors • Required for All-American Miss queen competitors • Optional for all remaining Nationals attendees Participants will individually complete the Birkman ® Personality Profile Assessment online at home prior to the national pageant. Then, each age group will meet in a seminar setting at the national pageant. Family members are encouraged to attend. At the Group Session, each participant will receive a printed report of their online personality profile assessment results. Certified Birkman ® consultant, Diane Van Zandt, will present the participants and family members with the concepts of the assessment as well as guidelines for implementing the results in educational choices, work, daily life, and more. While the concepts of the Birkman ® Assessment are presented in the group seminar, the report for any one participant is shared only with that participant and her parent(s) who are in attendance at the group seminar.

Private Feedback Consultation with the certified Birkman ® consultant - $500 fee: • Optional for National American Miss queen competitors • Optional for All-American Miss queen competitors • Optional for all remaining Nationals attendees The Private Feedback Consultations will be scheduled on a first-come-first-served basis at Nationals. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend both the Group Session as well as the Private Feedback Consultation with their daughter.

If you are a JuniorTeen, Teen, or Miss national pageant attendee and you are not competing for one of the national queen’s titles, you are invited to take part in the individual basic profile report and group seminar on an optional basis for the same low fee of just $100. Also, you are invited to add the personal individual consultation for just $500 as an option. IS THIS A PART OF MY SCORING FOR THE PAGEANT? The results of your Birkman testing are not a part of the scoring of the pageant. To be clear: Your results are not provided to the judges in any way, nor is your report published, nor is it shared with other contestants or families. HOW DO I RECEIVE MY REPORT? Your basic report is printed, in color, and provided to you in person in a personalized portfolio folder at the group session. Your individual basic report will come to life for you as the certified Birkman ® consultant illuminates the components of the Birkman ® report. This is included in the basic $100 fee.

If you decide to upgrade your experience by paying the $500 fee to take part in the Private Feedback Consultation with the certified Birkman ® consultant, you will receive additional reports that include more comprehensive pages and results from your online assessment. Through the additional reports and personal consultation, you will gain even deeper insight into your strengths and challenges, learn how to handle stress, as well as attain a deeper understanding of your personal communication style, academic preferences, and career strengths. HOW DO I PAY THE FEE? The $100 basic fee is to be paid directly to Birkman at NAMbirkman.com . This can be done online only. The same process applies to the optional $500 personal individual consultation. The NAM office will not be able to accept nor process Birkman fees. WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO PARTICIPATE? Step 1 : Pay the required fee of $100 online at NAMbirkman.com by October 1. Step 2 : Complete the online personality profile test prior to October 31. Step 3 : Attend the group seminar in person at the national pageant. The time for your age division’s group seminar will be provided to you in your national pageant schedule, which is mailed out from the national pageant office the first week of November. Step 4 : If you choose to participate in the Private Feedback Consultation with a certified Birkman ® consultant, then you will need to pay the $500 fee. You may pay the fee in advance online at NAMbirkman.com or in person at the national pageant. The Private Feedback Consultations will be scheduled on a first-come-first-served basis in person at the national pageant. If you pay the $500 fee online, instead of at the pageant, then you will receive priority scheduling for your Private Feedback Consultation.

As part of the national prize package, the girls who won their national pageant last November were treated to an amazing photo shoot in Texas. The six young ladies who represent the Junior Teen, Teen, and Miss age groups were invited to take part in the Personality Profile Assessment. They took the online personality profile test before their trip. Then, at the photo shoot, they received their individual basic profile report, plus a Private Feedback Consultation with certified Birkman ® consultant Diane Van Zandt.

NAM interviewed them right after their session. Here is what the girls, and their parents, had to say about their Birkman ® experience.

Jada Newkirk, National All-American Miss Junior Teen I learned about what my strengths and challenges are and how that can help me in choosing a career in the future and also a college that I would want to go to. I thought it was really effective because it can really help me in my course work and also in my personal life especially since I am a junior in high school right now. Also, how I can use my strengths and challenges to better choose a college and choose a career in the future. Teleza, Jada’s Mom I attended the consultation with my daughter and it was spot-on to what her personality is and things that she can work on and use in her high school career and beyond. It was really good insight into things that she can work on later in life so that she does not have to worry about struggles that she might have. She can nip those in the bud really quickly to live up to her full potential. I think it is important because it really lets them learn how they approach different scenarios, whether it be in school or different activities. Going through the college process now, it really lets them look internally at what they need to do in terms of not being so stressed. Learning how to have a good balance in their life, school, and beyond.

Michaela Abelgas, National American Miss At National American Miss, their entire organization is really all about empowering young women to be future leaders, to really take on the real world with confidence, with leadership, and also optimism. I think that’s so great because the Birkman definitely helps girls to be more confident, to realize who they are and really what their passions and their interests are about. They will be 110% more confident and also they will be more passionate about all of the things they do in life. Katherine, Michaela’s Mom The Birkman is really a great tool for parents and for students to set their target on a right path at an early time. Highly recommendable. I really love the Birkman. I am going to get the program for my two other children as a graduation gift. Ryan, Michaela’s Dad It was a great opportunity for me, especially as a dad. I am definitely recommending this to everyone, to any young woman, or even to corporate organizations. After the session I felt really, really good, because as a dad you want to support your daughter in anything and everything that she does. And hearing her strengths and her weaknesses and her plans and what she can do to handle stress like in college and everything in life in general I feel that knowing these I am able to help and support her.

w Brianna Smith, National American Miss Junior Teen I think that everyone should have this opportunity. It is something that is very eye-opening. To bring it to National American Miss would give girls a world of opportunity: Not only public speaking skills and being able to be poised and meeting new people, but also meeting themselves; getting a better, clearer version of who they are - I think that’s something that is very important. DelMarie, Brianna’s Mom It was amazing. I went to the consultation and I was surprised to know that they knew Brianna so well. I believe it is helpful to allow them to know where they are going, especially at this younger age. They’re sophomores so they have an advantage to know what they want to do as they become juniors, seniors, or even when they are going to college. I would definitely recommend for everyone.

Alissa Parlante, National All-American Miss Teen I think it’s a great thing for people, especially in the ages of maybe 16 and 22, to do, especially if they are having difficulties deciding on a career path. The feeling I had when I finished was I felt more connected to my mom. She was there and she heard everything that the presenter said and saw everything on the paper about my personality, and I feel that we are more connected now. Sue, Alissa’s Mom It enlightened me to think more about what she needs as a person. And it will help her to grow more as a person as well. What I knew before, now I understand. I wish I had something like this when I was her age. I had no one to help me know my strengths, or my weaknesses, or my stressors. I am happy she had this opportunity because it is an incredible thing. If you can afford to do it, then I would definitely invest the time and the money to do it. I think it would be worth your while to make an investment in your child’s future.

Courtlyn Burris, National All-American Miss I definitely think it’s good for girls my age to take the Birkman, especially because we need to find ourselves - we are still discovering our career paths, things that we like to do and things that we want to do with our future. That is what the Birkman is about. After I took the survey and met with the consultant I feel like I know myself a lot more and I know what I want to do with my future. Chamanda, Courtlyn’s Mom We were just blown away – amazed. One of the things that really amazed me was that things that the Birkman was able to uncover were things that, as a mom, I knew I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but I knew it was there. Courtlyn is now 20. I remember sitting in there in the consultation and thinking, ‘I wish I would have had this when she was 13 or 14 years old,’ because there were times when we were butting heads, and I couldn’t understand why. Going through that consultation really opened my eyes and helped me to see ‘This is why.’ It wasn’t that she was trying to be difficult. She was just being who God created her to be. This is a unique opportunity for these young ladies to get keen insight into who they are, why they do the things they do, how they think, how they best learn, and then take all of that and then use it to just have the best life possible.

Michaela Jacobs, National American Miss Teen I am so thankful that they gave us a list of career opportunities and ways that we can utilize our strengths in different fields. It taught me that we are all so differently created, we are unique people. I feel so confident now to pursue the path to whatever career I choose, whatever goals I have, now I know that I am utilizing my strengths to their fullest potential. I think it would be a wonderful idea for girls my age, and younger, to take the Birkman assessment test because we have one life to live and why not make the fullest potential of that one life that we are given. Susan, Michaela’s Mom She (the Birkman presenter) was so calming and so caring, and kind, and encouraging. Her whole spirit, her whole countenance was so trusting…She is very knowledgeable in her subject; knows exactly what she is talking about and has been doing it for many, many years so she speaks with great authority. There is no fear, there’s no worry that you go in and say, “(gasp), Oh boy, I gotta change.” Because, it’s not even changing, it’s just making your life better.
