Here recently, the students of Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda have been sharing a lot of their successes\u2014and rightly so. These students are outstanding in more ways than I can enumerate here. But during a recent chat with her, I learned that Lindsey Elias, the current President of the WCU chapter of PBL, would be running for State President. Ever humble, Lindsey almost blushed when she told us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Humility aside, Lindsey is deserving of the honor of being the State President. Behind that somewhat shy fa\u00e7ade is as hardworking, smart, and motivated of a student as I have ever seen. Which is why, when I found out this week, that Lindsey had won the race, I told my team we needed to \u201cShout it from the rooftops!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Not only are we incredibly proud of her and all that she\u2019s accomplished, but we\u2019re honored to be able to support her and the rest of the PBL students here at WCU. A great group of hardworking, humble, and dedicated professionals who will, no doubt, go on to be outstanding leaders in their communities.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Our latest support helped 11 FBLA-PBL students to travel to Charlotte, NC for their state leadership conference where Lindsey was voted into her new office, and where they were able to compete in business-related competitions, many of whom did well enough to qualify for the national competition to be held in San Antonio, TX this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Below is a list of all the competitors, with those going on to the national level listed in bold.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
