Highlight Reel: Chicago NLC!

Hey Blue Mountain Members! This is the favorite FBLA experience of Union’s Chapter President, Steven Crader.

My favorite FBLA experience was traveling to Chicago, IL and participating in the 2007 National Leadership Conference.
This was the first time I had flown anywhere and been out of Oregon farther than the states surrounding Oregon (Washington, Idaho, California).

Although I did not qualify to compete at the NLC, nevertheless I chose to attend and compete in the open events.
While in Chicago, I attended a Blue Man Group show, went on a cruise on Lake Michigan, attended a showing of the Broadway play “Wicked”, and toured around the city.

Before attending the National Leadership Conference I was involved with FBLA, but not as much as I was afterwards. While in Chicago, I was able to experience the final step of the FBLA process and found it exhilarating. I could not wait for the next FBLA conference so I could feel the energy and pride the members have for the FBLA organization.


Send me your favorite memories, adviser, member, and alumni spotlight for the rest of the “Highlight Reel”!

As always-keep in touch!
