The NLC featured 60 plus events at the collegiate level. The PBL competitive events prepare college students for the workforce by expanding their classroom experience with real-world scenarios. FBLA-PBL has forged partnerships with industry leaders to underwrite competitive events and scholarships for students achieving national ranking. NLC also featured the elections of national officers during which time delegates from across the country elected six PBL division officers.

Taylore Hudgins from Labette Community College in Parsons, Kansas, received national recognition in the PBL Awards ceremony on June 27.  Hudgins competed in Impromptu Speaking finishing in First place, becoming a National Champion.  Also representing LCC at NLC was Braden Hale.

“I am so very proud of my students! They put forth their best efforts, attended several leadership workshops to hone their skills and increase their networks and competed against the top students in the nation.  They deserve to be recognized for their outstanding efforts at the National PBL Conference.  These students represented LCC and the state of Kansas extremely well and I look forward to seeing them become Future Business Leaders” said Cathy Kibler, Advisor.
