State Officer

Future Business Leaders of America is a Career and Technical Student Organization focused on providing its members with the skills they need to be successful in the workforce. I had the ability to join this organization as a freshman in high school and quickly realized the potential for education and growth. Taking the initiative, I applied, ran, and was elected by my peers to serve as a local chapter officer my sophomore year, and then was reelected to serve again my junior year. As a sophomore I also ran for the position of State Secretary, and was elected by a majority of Nebraska’s 4,000 members to serve in this position my junior year. In a similar fashion I ran for State Vice-President my junior year and was elected to serve for the duration of my senior year.
