Eleven Northshore high school Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) students will start summer vacation in Anaheim, Calif., competing at the FBLA National Leadership Conference, June 27-30.
Inglemoor High School students Gary Wang, Jasmine Hawkins and Kevin Jin and Woodinville students Kassidy Bruhn, Joshua Granaada, Michael Aldridge, Heather Brevard, Phillip Dougherty, Robert Luo, Nicholas Taylor and Jacob Yee will be competing for honors and scholarship money.
FBLA chapters from across the country help high school students prepare for careers in business and business-related fields.
