Our FBLA chapter had nine members attend and compete at the FBLA National Leadership Conference held in Orlando, Florida on June 28 - July 2. The Salisbury members were among over 12,000 other student members from across the nation and Canada who attended the conference. Our members competed in knowledge and skills tests and presentations. The following students were in attendance, Testers: Cate Atkinson (Introduction to Business Communication), Zane Duncan (Introduction to Information Technology); Skills and Test: Ashtyn Gladbach (Word Processing, and Presentations: Taryn Nanneman, Morgan Sellers, Karlie Schiltz (Introduction to Social Media Strategies), and Adeline Emmerich, Taylor Nolke, Lily Rowe (Visual Design). Each member/group was up against 100 to 200 competitors depending on their event. At the Awards of Excellence Ceremony on July 2, Ashtyn Gladbach, received recognition on stage and placed third in the nation in her Word Processing event. We are extremely proud of all of our members who spent countless hours practicing and preparing for their events. The dedication of our students to their personal and academic achievement shines.
The Salisbury chapter was also recognized as a Gold Seal chapter and a Silver level National Champion Chapter. To be recognized as a Champion Chapter, the chapter engaged in several activities throughout the school year to increase membership engagement, grow career-readiness, as well as personal development and leadership skills. We are thankful for our amazing student members for being involved in our organization and helping us receive this award.
