Background:
Reedsport's Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter has long been a remarkably successful program, but it's been many years since the group has had so many qualify for national competition. Four Reedsport Community Charter School sophomores will travel to Nashville, Tennessee, from July 11 through 18, 2010, to compete at the FBLA National Conference, and fundraising efforts are under way to help pay their travel expenses.
Kyle Wicks and Jacob Herr will compete in the Global Business team event, Cormac Dailey will participate in the new Help Desk competition, and Hannes Zetzsche will take part in the Business Math contest. Each contestant had to place in the top two positions at the state competition or qualify when higher-placing contestants declared themselves unable to attend the national competition.
Airfare, lodging, and conference fees for the four delegates and a chaperone will total more than $5,000.
