This is the image for the news article titled Dresden & Westview Take Home Regional FBLA Wins, Advance to StateBusiness students in Weakley County once again made their marks at the annual Future Business Leaders of America competitions. And several are on their way (virtually at least) to more state level events.

As part of the largest career student business organization in the world, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) for high school students has more than 196,950 members and more than 5,200 chapters. FBLA focuses on Leadership Development, Academic Competitions, Educational Programs, and Community Service. Members compete in events that test their business knowledge and skills at the regional, state and national levels.

Tennessee is divided into six regions. Weakley competes in Region 2 against 21 other counties in the area.

In January, Westview and Dresden High Schools had several students participate in the virtual regional competitions and claim certificates of achievement. Students also took part in the state online competition that was held during the regularly scheduled FBLA Week, February 14-21. Since Weakley County was out for snow days, the students had to take the initiative to sign in on their own.

Additional state level competitions will occur in March. Role play, speeches, interviews; presentations on categories such as 3-D Animation, Broadcast Journalism, Digital Video Production, Electronic Career Portfolio and Graphic Design are among the options for students to exhibit their skills. In April a few more demonstration competitions are scheduled with all state winners announced on April 5.

Dresden students who opted to compete at the state level are Jacey McClure, Spreadsheet Applications; Parker Ferrell, Computer Applications; Haley Brooks, Website Design; Keylee Calabrese, Public Service Announcement; Molly Maddox, Business Communication; and Julie Mathis, Business Ethics. Maddox will be representing the region since she won in her category.
