Branson Schools FBLA Takin’ Care Of Business

Friday, May 6, 2022 at 12:00 AM

BRANSON, MO (April 19, 2022) – Branson High School students recently brought home top honors after competing in this year’s Missouri Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) State Leadership Conference.

For the first time in two years, FBLA members and advisors gathered in-person to expand their leadership, compete in various events, and connect with members from across the state. This year’s conference was held at Missouri State University’s JQH Arena.

Nine Branson students competed at the State level, two of whom placed in the Top Ten in their respective competition areas. Clara Dean (Freshman) finished 5th place in Introduction to Financial Math, while Logan Velvet (Sophomore) took 3rd place in Introduction to Financial Math. Velvet will move on to compete at the National Leadership Conference this summer in Chicago, Illinois.

Branson High School’s FBLA is led by advisor Alisa Cornelison. “I am always filled with joy when watching the students as they learn their placement in competitive events at the District and the State level,” says Cornelison. “To have nine compete at FBLA State is quite an achievement; to have two members place in the top five in an objective test is an amazing accomplishment, as well.”

Missouri Future Business Leaders of America is a non-profit 501(c)(3) student business organization with over 11,000 members, making it the second largest co-curricular organization in the nation. Their mission is to bring business and education together in a positive working relationship through innovative leadership and career development programs.
