Gallatin FBLA places 31 members in top 10 at state leadership conference
Apr 18, 2018 | School News |
Fifty-one Gallatin FBLA members joined nearly 5,000 students from across the state in Springfield for the Missouri FBLA State Leadership Conference April 8-10. The students’ main focus was competitive events where they could earn the right to compete at the National Leadership Conference this summer in Baltimore, MD. Events range from accounting I to website design, with economics, public speaking, and social media mixed in between. Overall, FBLA is home to more than 70 events. The Gallatin High School chapter is under the direction and support of adviser Barb Holcomb.
A highlight to the conference was watching Hayley Michael, Missouri State Parliamentarian, on stage helping to lead the state conference as a member of the 2017-2018 Missouri FBLA State Officer Team. Other highlights included Hayley Michael’s selection as Who’s Who in Missouri FBLA and as Missouri FBLA’s Future Business Leader, the highest honors which can be bestowed on a member.
Also, at the conclusion of the conference, the Gallatin FBLA chapter was awarded the statewide Spirit Gavel for the fourth consecutive year.
