Pictured are members of our FBLA - Jordan, Mary, Kailey, Alexia, Riley, Bella, Maddie, & George. A recent competition included the submission of business reports - a 16-page Local Chapter Annual Business report of our chapter's program work this year and a 16-page Partnership with Business report of our chapter's work with Mainstreet Waynesboro. We are thrilled to share that these two reports finished in the top 10 in Pennsylvania and will allow Riley, Alexia, Sadie, and Mary the opportunity to present their reports at the FBLA State conference in Hershey next month in an attempt to qualify for Nationals this summer. Way to go!
