What is a PIB? A PIB is a sustainable project that can be packaged, passed on, and promoted by other PAs, PA students, and student societies. PIBs can even be packaged with instructions on how to run the event, a PowerPoint presentation to help facilitate discussion, and handouts to complement the event. All these projects need is a local leader or active member to download the project and use it.
How do I submit a PIB? Write an outline of how the project was thought of and carried out. Include a time line, contact numbers, and helpful hints that could help another student society carry out the same project, correcting any snags you ran into at your program. Include (where appropriate) a Power Point presentation, handouts, and other things you used when planning your event.
Judging Procedures
