Local Students Honored At National Leadership Conference

Lenoir Community College students Brandon Andrews and Jennifer Jones were honored recently at the Phi Beta Lambda National Leadership Conference, a professional association for students pursuing business careers. Competing in FBLA-PBL’s national awards program, Andrews placed second in Visual Basic Programming and Jones place 10th in the Word Processing event.

The awards were part of a comprehensive competitive events program sponsored annually by Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda, Inc. (FBLA-PBL). The winners of these highly competitive and prestigious awards are selected from among FBLA-PBL’s membership of 250,000 students and advisers and represent some of the best and brightest of today’s youth.

The almost 7,000 delegates to the National Leadership Conference participated in a structured, four-day meeting for each division that included business and leadership training workshops and seminars, corporate tours, and the election of national officers. Walter Martin, the LCCPBL Advisor, said the students did outstanding and represented Lenoir Community College and it’s surrounding counties proudly.
