The Caldwell County High School FBLA Club has been busy this summer, and now that school is back in session, they have made plans for another very active year.
As summer break from school began, members of the local Future Business Leaders of America Club who were selected for the leadership team and officers for this year attended training camp to learn about the responsibilities and duties of their offices for the year. Then in July, seven FBLA students and two Advisors took off for a six-day trip to California to attend and compete in the National FBLA Convention and Competition.
As an incoming local officer, Macey Merrick made the trip and shared about the competition.

Boitnott added that they were planning several activities to get the students out of the classroom and into places to experience the world of business. They will also be competing in multiple contests where they plan to qualify to proceed to compete in State and National Competitions while attending those levels of FBLA Conventions.
