Congratulations to the 12 students who competed in the 2022-2023 FBLA Collegiate State Leadership Conference. Peru State FBLA had all students place in the Top 10 this year!

The following individuals placed at the statewide conference held in Kearney, Nebraska. Based upon placements and type of event, a few students are automatically eligible to compete at the National Leadership Conference, which will be held in Atlanta this June. At this time, 4 students have automatically qualified for Nationals, and several others may be “moved up” soon. Students can compete in only 2 events at Nationals, and since students will have options, other students may move up in the standings as participants decide which events they will enter.

Peru State College alumni were involved at the FBLA Collegiate State Leadership Conference. These judges included: Ted Harshbarger (not present, but reviewed production events), Emily (Slama) Ethington (not present, but reviewed production events), Alex Wessels, Jennifer (Clark) Roth, Hannah Chubbuck, Trey Nelson, and Tristen Nelson.
