Brehm FBLA attends conference



The FBLA (Future Leaders of America), a newly chartered club this year on campus at Brehm School, attended the 57th Annual Southern Area Conference on Thursday, Jan. 13.

Eleven members attended and eight members took part in the competition portion of the conference.

Students were given a choice from a wide variety of competitive events to choose from. All events were related to Business and Business Procedures. The competition consisted of events from computer generated tests to public speaking.

The Brehm students, all dressed in business attire, made a great showing for our school. More than 500 students showed up for the conference. Nineteen schools from the southern half of Illinois were represented.

The students participated in activities where they were able to get to know other students from all the other schools. Out of all of the competitors we had one student who placed third in the Business Law field - Stephen T. CONGRATULATIONS STEPHEN!!!

The students are looking forward to going to the State Conference which will be held March 25-26 in Decatur, IL.

The members are going to be doing fundraising activities in order to raise the money in order for them to be able to attend. For more information about Brehm's FBLA, please contact Mary Hart at mhart@brehm.org.
