Meade County FBLA: creating stars at state!
By Ashley Stull On May 8, Meade County Future Business Leaders of America sent 27 members to Louisville to compete in the Kentucky state competition. The competition was held at the Executive West Hotel from Tuesday to Thursday (May 8-10). The Kentucky FBLA theme this year was “FBLA: Creating Stars.” During this week, the Meade County chapter created many stars in the competitions. The chapter awards received were the Commonwealth Award of Merit which is received by only 30 chapters in the state. They also brought home fourth place in Largest Chapter Membership with 179 members and the Region 2 Largest Percentage Increase in local chapter membership. Our FBLA stars also did well individually. Valerie Hobbs will serve as the 2007-2008 state reporter. Most first-, second- and third-place wins qualify for national competition in Chicago, Ill., June 27-July 2. Anthony Smith placed first in banking and finance. Third place was awarded to Cassandra Bennett in partnership with business, Emily Fox in spreadsheet designs and Christian Rojas in business plan. Fourth place was awarded to Cynthia Smith in visual basic; Kimberly Reynolds in C++ programming; the group of Jon Hobbs, Valerie Hobbs and Jessica Jordan in emerging business issues; and the group of Ava Jordan, Heather Whelan, Clay Mills and Courtney Hatfield in parliamentary procedures. Awarded fifth place was Alyssa Durbin in introduction to business. Click Here to Go Back
