The FBLA State Leadership Conference brought exciting results for local competitors. Ella Pinkelman advanced to the semi-finals in Job Interview and earned Honorable Mention in both Job Interview and Personal Finance—placing among the top 9th to 27th out of 464 students in the state for Personal Finance. Ava Cramer reached the finals in Impromptu Speaking and secured 4th place overall, just one spot shy of qualifying for Nationals. However, there's still hope, as students can only compete in one event at Nationals, and a spot may open up. Congratulations to both students for their outstanding achievements! The Cross County FBLA crew did a fantastic job representing Cross County. Well done.
