FBLA State Competitions

Type: Action and Creativity
Date: February 9, 2016
This last Monday, my FBLA Chapter at Palisade High School attended District 9's Competitions at Colorado Mesa University. We have been actively meeting to prepare each of our individual and team events for the last two months or so. This is all so we can move up and keep competing at State Competitions and finally, to NATIONALS, which this year will be held at Atlanta, Georgia. (I attended last year's Nationals Competitions in Chicago for my Business Plan, which got second place Statewide! It was definitely a great learning experience and so much fun!) This year, I competed in the Economics Test for my individual competition and Social Media Campaign for my team competition (with my friend  and teammate Cheyenne), and received first place for Economics and first place for Social Media Campaign. Ten of us qualified to move on to state, and everyone except one member are going to attend. We are soo excited and ready to represent Palisade! I'm mostly excited for the amount of new members we have this year that I can show how cool our business competition at Vail, CO is. Now our next step is to fundraise money to pay for travel costs. We collected about $150 profit with our Valentine's Day cookie sales, and will keep fundraising by asking local businesses to donate. We are PaliFBLA and State Competitions, here we come!
