So proud of the hard work, dedication, and growth shown by each of them:

🥈 Anna Lindsay – 2nd Place, Introduction to Supply Chain Management
🥈 Shelbi Bowden – 2nd Place, Introduction to Retail Merchandising

🥉 Mary Blanche Martin – 3rd Place, Introduction to Business Procedures
🥉 Sam Mayben & Gaddy Rice – 3rd Place
🥉 Carly Teel – 3rd Place, Introduction to Public Speaking (competing against 30 participants!)

🏅 Jack Jackson & Robert Donald – 4th Place, Introduction to Coding
🏅Sally Nettles - 4th Place, Introduction to Information Technology

⭐ Wade Gandy & Ellie Kaye Meadows – Top 10 out of 50 in Job Interview

A special thank you to Mrs. Gandy for conducting a workshop and to Mrs. Mayben for making sure everyone was rehearsing and in proper attire — your support helped make this experience a success!

Each participant represented our chapter so well! Proud is an understatement 💙💛

I am thrilled to share with you the outstanding accomplishments of our FBLA members at the recent State Leadership Conference. Our students showcased their exceptional talent and demonstrated their commitment to excellence in a range of competitions, including speeches, presentations, role plays with judges, and other competitive events.
As their adviser, I am incredibly proud of the dedication, hard work, and teamwork that led to their remarkable success. In addition to individual successes, we are also proud to have received chapter awards, including being the largest chapter in District 3, a chapter of distinction, and the gold seal chapter award.
The State Leadership Conference was a truly inspiring event, and I want to acknowledge the contributions of State Officer Jane Wiley Wright, who has been an inspiration to our students and an outstanding leader for FBLA.
I also want to thank the guest speakers, DeeDee Trotter and the Velcro Pygmies, who motivated and inspired our students. Also, the many presenters throughout the conference that engaged members in workshops.
Finally, I want to congratulate our FBLA members on their exceptional achievements. Your success is a testament to your hard work, determination, and commitment to excellence. I am honored to serve as your adviser and to work alongside such an outstanding group of young professionals. (Details in the comments of all the members who placed).

Congratulations to our very own Trey Bucurel, our FBLA President!!!
