PBGHS Future Business Leaders of America brought 105 students to the annual FBLA Fall Rally at the Palm Beach County Convention Center on Tuesday, October 6, 2009. The Fall Rally consists of breakout workshops to teach business and entrepreneurial skills, a keynote speaker, and chapter competitions from middle schools and high schools around Palm Beach County.
Palm Beach Gardens High School was extremely proud to have 2 of the 4 2009-2010 District Officers installed at the Rally. Julien Borbon, Global Business Senior, was initiated as District President and another Global Business Senior, Michael McLean, was initiated as District Parliamentarian.
The guest speaker this year was Lester Woerner, President of Woerner Holdings, LLC. He explained how making certain decisions greatly affect your future. The breakout sessions varied from financial planning to protecting your identity on the internet. The lunch provided is always delicious too.
The most exciting event that happened was Palm Beach Gardens High School won the Battle of the Chapters by answering questions about FBLA-PBL thanks to the hard work of Julien Borbon and Samantha Short. We now have a huge trophy displayed in Mrs. Kummerlen’s room. Way to go Julien and Sami!! Thank you to everyone who attended and we look forward to another great year in FBLA.
