We also highly encourage everyone to complete the 2024 NLC Survey accessible online at https://lnkd.in/ebdQjZpU. It is through feedback received both during the event and through these surveys that we are able to continue building on each year's conference program.

I am honored to have had the opportunity to compete at this year's Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference in Chicago. Despite getting 6th place and failing to advance from the state level for Economic Research last year, this year I learned and improved to place first in state, eventually making finals on a national level. 🏅 Proceeding from prelims, 𝙄 𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙞𝙭𝙩𝙝 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧 through my research against the alleged monopolization of ticketing company Ticketmaster. 🏅 Business Professionals of America has provided me with unrivaled learning opportunities over the last two years. I am thankful for the opportunity to improve my leadership skills, to learn in a competitive environment, and for the connections and networking skills BPA has provided me with. I look forward to continue competing in BPA next year. I would like to thank Business Professionals of America for the opportunity to compete and grow in an urban environment, the new friends I met this year at the NLC, my chapter advisors and peers within my chapter, my parents and family who have supported me, and Fredric D. Rosen who mentored me and gave me his time in providing insight as it regarded my research to his company, Ticketmaster. Until next year!
