FBLA Wins Big

The end of our virtual state conference for FBLA was today and I thought I would share some good news! OUR FBLA STUDENTS DID AMAZING! Due to our in person conference being cancelled back in April, there were some challenges our students had to rise to in order to compete. However, just like all our students do at Hazen, they rose to the challenge and DID NOT disappoint. All presentation events had to be recorded and submitted to the state office for judging since we could not compete face to face in Spokane this year. I have included the event recordings that I had… Take a look, even I’m amazed at what these kids do!

Through this virtual competition experience, Hazen FBLA had 45 students registered to compete. Hazen FBLA had an individual or a team in 32 events that ranged from Accounting, Sports & Entertainment Management, Client Service, Community Service Project, etc.  Of our 32 events, our students place in the top 10 in 29 of those events… THAT’S 90% OF OUR EVENTS! Of our 32 events, 17 of those events qualified for the national competition… THAT’S 53% OF OUR EVENTS! This also means that we have 24ish individuals who have officially punched their tickets to the national conference. The down side is that the FBLA national office has had to cancel our in person national conference which usually take place later in June. This means that students who do compete at nationals will be competing virtually again. HOWEVER that’s a sad point and I am not here to deliver more sad news… Only good happy news from this email.

Here are your Top 10 FBLA winners this year.

Other awards/recognition:

Much to my surprise, the Hazen FBLA Executive Officer team and Harland nominated me for the 2020 Washington FBLA Adviser of the Year and I was the recipient of the award. I want to publicly thank them for their nomination. I do what I do for the kids and I love the Hazen community very much! 

Gary Tou ran a virtual campaign for state office and WON! Gary is the 2020-2021 West Central Region Vice President! CONGRATULATIONS, GARY!

Jennie Ha served as the 2019-2020 State Secretary. She helped chair numerous committees to prepare the state of an annual state conference and helped make numerous scholarships know to FBLA members.

If you have Jennie in class or know Jennie, please reach out and congratulate her on a successful year as Secretary and for representing Hazen well!

Helen Tran served as the 2019-2020 State Public Relations Officer. Helen was in charge of all the social media and publicity for the state.
