March 27-29, a total of 71 members of the Waukon High School Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter traveled to Coralville to compete in the State Leadership Conference. The students competed in various business-related tests against other schools in the state.
The Waukon chapter finished second overall in the state, with over 50 students placing in individual, team, presentation and speech events. A total of 20 students are planning on making the trip to Nashville, TN this summer to compete in the National FBLA Conference as a result of their top-end finishes at the State Conference.
