Stevens-Henager College student representatives invited to Phi Beta Lambda Nationals in Orlando

May 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Winners representing Stevens-Henager College in the Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda state competition have been invited to Orlando for the national competition in June. Money is currently being raised for the entire competitive team from Stevens-Henager to travel to Florida June 22 through June 26 for the nationals.

In April, the Stevens-Henager team competed in the statewide competition against 150 students from 11 other colleges and universities in business disciplines across the spectrum, including business law, justice administration, financial concepts, micro-economics, client services, emerging issues, sales presentations, human resource management, information management, accounting principles, and future business executive competencies.

Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) is an American career and technical student organization typically affiliated with an institution’s business department. FBLA-PBL is the largest student-run, business-related organization in the world. It is considered an honor for state competitors to qualify to compete at the national level in the FBLA-PBL competition, because they have demonstrated skills superior to other competitors from their state, as Stevens-Henager students did in Utah.
