The Neah-Kah-Nie FBLA Student Organization – Future Business Leaders of America – had 19 national qualifiers at the annual Oregon state competition, which took place in Portland, Oregon April 5-7, 2018. The team composed of 29 students won an overall 22 top 10 state awards with 19 National Qualifiers. To be a national qualifier a student, or team of students, must place in the top 4 at state in their event. With over 140 schools participating across the state of Oregon and over 1000 students competing this was an excellent showing for a small, rural 2A school.
Nationals will be held in Maryland, Baltimore June 26-July 2 this summer. We are hoping to send a large group, but the costs are significant. If a business or individual would like to donate funds for our trip please contact FBLA Advisor Stevie Jackson at steviej@nknsd.org.
