BRATTLEBORO — From March 28 through 30, 29 members of Windham Regional Career Center's Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) traveled to Burlington to attend the FBLA State Conference.
FBLA is a nationwide organization for students to learn more about the business world. Every spring, Vermont chapters come together in Burlington to further their knowledge of business through fun workshops, and to compete in events.
These individual and group events included job interviews, client service, public speaking, global business, business ethics, and management decisionmaking. FBLA workshops revolved around preparing for college, boosting self-confidence, and learning more about business.
Overall, it was a very successful trip to the States Conference. Members of Future Business Leaders of America are preparing to attend the National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas from June 26 to July 3.
Now is the time for businesses to step up and support our academic champions of FBLA states. These future entrepreneurs will be coming around to local businesses seeking contributions to help offset the costs of attending Nationals.
Any donations would be appreciated in getting FBLA students one step closer to achieving their dream.
