Lee's
The
FBLA National Leadership Conference and Competitions will be held in
Nashville, Tennessee. The Lee delegation consisting of myself
and six students will be leaving June 27th and will be at the convention
until July 3rd. During that time the students will see and/or
work with the close of the PBL (college level), participants for the
Institute for Leaders, the inner workings of a national officer
campaign, workshops in leadership, the latest topics in business, and
financial literacy, and of course the finals for the chapter events,
Community Service, Partnership with Business, Business Plan, and
American Enterprise. Having the new leadership team see these
events in action with the officers who won our national championship
would provide an exceptional and unique training experience. The
other members include: National competitor Hannah Smith (10th
grade…exceptional leadership potential, developed the last two
presentations for the Key Middle School presentations.) Lavendar
Phan and Jonathan Barrera who both worked with the National Championship
winning American Enterprise project and worked to keep the school
boundaries in place. The other two members of the team are our new NOVA
Region Parliamentarian, Carlos Capllonch, and Virginia State Officer,
Giovanni Biancaniello who worked long hours with the Project ASK drive
and reception to help Virginia’s children with cancer and forge a
partnership with the ASK Board of Directors. (The project won 1st
again at States).
The
expense breakdown estimate per person is:
Air--225.10; Shuttle--40.00;
Hotel--331.32; Registration--100.00 = 696.42 Roughly
$4,865 and we have received generous donation of $1000 from the
PTSA :) so that puts us at $3,865 (not including the usually end-of-year
activities for the chapter or the leadership camps). We have made
$300 so far from a bake sale and a walk-a-thon type activity after
school and will be having a hat and bake sale on May 31st with as many
bake sales as we are allowed after that. Considering that we have
to have the account in the black by the end of June, we're going to be
baking a lot of brownies over the next month.:)
