First national placewinning for Waukon FBLA since 2003 ...

For the first time in nearly two decades the Waukon High School Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter recorded a national placewinning at the organization’s annual Leadership Conference. Eight FBLA students from Waukon High School participated in the FBLA Virtual National Leadership Experience held online June 29-July 2 this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students sent in projects and completed objective tests prior to the conference and then had the opportunity to sit in on keynote speakers and leadership seminars. Pictured at left, left to right, Waukon High School FBLA members Bridget Duncklee, Alexis Hogan and Ashley Liddiard were awarded fifth place in the nation for their video and presentation on 3D Animation during the conference. Their video and conference presentation can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTJaBs9bNvU&feature=emb_logo. The conference involved over 8,000 students participating from across the nation in a variety of contests. The Waukon High School FBLA chapter’s last national placewinner was in 2003. Submitted photo.
