On October 2, 2024 sixteen FBLA students along with Mr. Thrasher and Mrs. Snelgroes attended the District VI FBLA Fall Leadership Conference at ASU-Mountain Home.
This conference introduces new students to FBLA and serves to get students excited for the new school year. This year's conference included Keynote Speaker Krista Langston-Wiles, a former district officer who now serves as Executive Director of Community Programs at UAMS. Local officers for each chapter were also installed during the conference. Viola's Officer team for the 2024-25 School Year include:
President - Joey Harber
Vice President - Kira Duncan
Secretary - Landyn Denwalt
Treasurer - Abby Perryman
Reporter - Meredith Deane
Parliamentarian - Kara Moore
Vice President of Community Service - Dana Wright
Our own Joey Harber finished second in the FBLA trivia contest out of almost 300 students. After the conference, students enjoyed lunch at Fujiyama's in Mountain Home before returning to school. Our next conference is January 31, 2025 at ASU-Mountain Home, and is the kickoff to the competition season.
