The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) hosted its State Leadership Conference this past Saturday, March 18.

Five LVC students attended the Conference: Michaela Linsey ’26, Hope Fisher 24, Bella Getz ’24, Gigi Mustafa ’23 and Ben Ramsaroop-Jaimungal ’23.

At the event, students from across Pennsylvania attended workshops, tested their abilities in a brief competition and capped off the night with an awards ceremony.

“It was amazing to meet other passionate students who are also pursuing business,” Fisher said. “The energy was infectious.”

LVC even took home a few awards. Ramsaroop-Jaimungal placed first for Management Concepts, while Fisher and Linsey placed second in Entrepreneurship Concepts and Accounting Foundations respectively.

This was the first in-person Conference held by the Pennsylvania FBLA since 2019 and attending this has even sparked Ramsaroop-Jaimungal and Fisher to consider pursing the National Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, later this year.

“It was a great opportunity to network with other students and attend workshops led by business professionals,” Getz said.

It was a good day to be a Dutchman.
