The Harvey Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Chapter has returned from the National Leadership Conference (NLC) held in Orlando, Florida last month.
Ten Harvey students, along with Chapter Adviser Nell Rapport, attended the conference. These students had placed in the top three in the state qualifying event this past spring, securing their right to compete at the National Conference.

The students competed in their FBLA events, attended workshops, state and regional caucusing meetings, heard keynote speakers and networked with other FBLA members from across the country. Although none of the Harvey students made it to the final round of competitions, they enjoyed many learning opportunities throughout the conference.
The trip was made possible through a grant from Avery Dennison Corporation which funded and supported the FBLA and Science Olympiad Programs this past year. Ms. Pat Brown of Avery Dennison also attended the NLC with the Harvey Chapter. She was recognized as one of the Business Persons of the Year by the National FBLA.
We congratulate these students and their advisors and mentors on a successful year of competition and thank Avery Dennison for their support.
