Worth County FBLA Sends Three to State

Monday February 25 the Worth County chapter of Future Business Leaders of America ventured to Maysville First Baptist Church to compete in the annual District Leadership Conference.  The conference was originally scheduled to be held at NWMSU but due to snow it was postponed and some events were altered to meet time restraints.  Where normally all FBLA members would get to attend conference the alterations meant that only performing students were able to attend.  The Worth County Chapter was well represented with three state qualifiers and 12 top 10 finishes.  Placing first in Electronic Career Portfolio was senior FBLA president Rebecca Moore.  Rebecca created a Prezi that showed judges her resume, career research, and her experience and qualities that will lead her to success in her career path of accounting.  The Business Presentation team consisting of Rebecca Moore, junior Kristen Andrews, and junior Brianna Fletchall also placed first.  In their presentation they had 7 minutes to show their research and tips for success at a business luncheon.  The final state qualifier was freshman Jacob Auten qualifying in Cyber Security.  Jacob had an hour to take a 100 question test about terms and issues involving the internet and security. State FBLA will take place April 21^st – 23^rd where qualifiers will have another round of presentations or tests to take.  Overall, the Worth County Chapter competes in the second largest FBLA in the nation with our district, district 1, having the highest membership in Missouri.  Congrats FBLA members!
