These students and their respective event categories are as follows: Jared Huzar, Advertising; Chris Seiler, Coding and Programming; and the team of Tejas Priyadarshi, Chris Seiler and Neelay Vellingker, Mobile Application Development.
FBLA is the largest career student organization in the world. Each year, FBLA helps over 230,000 members prepare for careers in business. FBLA's National Awards Program, commonly called competitive events, recognizes and rewards excellence in a broad range of business and career-related areas. Through state-based competition at the spring State Leadership Conferences, members compete in events that test their business knowledge and skills. Top winners in each state were eligible to compete for honors at the National Leadership Conference in Baltimore.
