As the State Leadership Conference of the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) approaches, students from Crestwood are gearing up for an exciting and competitive event in Hershey.

The conference, scheduled to take place from April 7 through 10, promises to be a culmination of hard work, dedication, and exemplary leadership skills showcased by FBLA members across the state. The attendance at the conference was made possible in part by donations from the Crestwood Education Foundation and Mountain Top Kiwanis.

FBLA, a renowned organization fostering leadership and professional development among high school students, serves as a platform for young minds to explore the realms of business, finance, entrepreneurship and more. With its annual state conference drawing near, students are eagerly preparing to put their skills to the test and vie for top honors in various competitions. Crestwood FBLA has 42 students competing in various events, and the chapter has already been named as a state finalist in American Enterprise Project, Community Service Project, and Local Chapter Annual Business Report Project.

The Crestwood chapter of FBLA has been diligently preparing for months, fine-tuning their business acumen, honing their presentation skills, and refining their strategies under the guidance of dedicated advisor Mrs. Christy Laubach. From meticulously crafted presentations to innovative solutions for real-world challenges, these students are poised to showcase their talents and represent their school and community with pride.

“We are incredibly proud of our FBLA students and their commitment to excellence,” said Mrs. Christy Laubach. “The state conference in Hershey provides a platform for them to demonstrate their skills, share ideas, and forge connections with like-minded individuals. It’s a testament to their hard work and dedication throughout the year.”

The FBLA state conference in Hershey serves as more than just a competition; it’s a celebration of innovation, collaboration, and the potential of young leaders to make a meaningful impact in the world of business and beyond. As students from Crestwood prepare to embark on this journey, they carry with them the hopes and aspirations of a community rallying behind their success.
