Butler FBLA students qualify for the National FBLA Conference

On March 4, ten Butler students attended the 72nd Annual Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) State Leadership Conference at Pittsburg State University. They competed against 4-year and 2-year Kansas FBLA chapter members in various business-related events, and nine of the ten students placed in their events and qualified to compete at the National Collegiate FBLA conference in Atlanta in June. Janice Akao, professor of business administration and accounting, serves as the Butler Community College FBLA chapter’s advisor and Jared McGinley, professor of management and marketing, helped the students with their marketing presentations.
