The Worth County FBLA Chapter attended the State Leadership Conference in Springfield, MO April 16-18th. The chapter had 10 students qualify for state in 8 different events. The chapter left bright and early Sunday morning for the Public Service Announcement team to perform in prelims later that afternoon. The team of freshmen: Brayden Combs, Lucas Frisch, and Andrew Griffin created a 30 second video over the dangers of screen addiction and then presented to a panel of judges their video along with the planning and design process of creating the video. Later that night the chapter attended Opening Ceremonies after catching a few rolls at Lambert’s Café.
Performing the following day were teams that had advanced to finals based on their prejudged submissions. The E-Business team, consisting of seniors; Drew Welch, Ali Brown, and Taylor Sanders presented their website over a rental property here in Worth County. They first had to build a website and then presented to judges on the creation of the site. The team barely missed advancing to nationals by placing 5th at state.
Another team performance was the team of Ethan Frese, Tucker Owens, and Lincoln Wake who created a video that was prejudged. They created a hype video for football and published it on YouTube. They advanced to finals to present to the judges on the equipment, technology, and process behind the creation of their video. They placed 8th in the state overall.
The PSA team presented again in the final round but did not make the top 10 in the state.
Lincoln Wake placed 5th at state overall in the Word Processing production test, 1 place shy of advancing to nationals. Lincoln took a timed hour test where he had to produce business documents with proper formatting. He also took an objective test over the terms and concepts of Word Processing.
Drew Welch qualified for National FBLA in the production test of Database Design and Applications. Drew had 1 hour to create, populate, and query a database for a mock company. Then Drew had to take a 1-hour objective test over database terms. Drew advances to nationals in Atlanta, Georgia in late June.
Qualifying at state but not placing was Hailey Adwell in Website Design, Tucker Owens in UX Design, Ethan Frese in Computer Problem Solving.
In addition to attending the conference, members had a little time at Bass Pro Shop, the mall, and managed to break out of an Escape Room with 25 minutes to spare. The Worth County Chapter of FBLA will wrap up their year with officer interviews and pre-selling of Colorado Peaches for their fundraiser in August.
