Chandler BPA students attend national conference

Students from Chandler’s Business Professionals of America (BPA) high school chapter competed at the 2022 BPA National Leadership Conference in Dallas, Texas, May 4-8.

The conference brought together an estimated six thousand delegates from across the country to vie for top honors in business, finance, technology, marketing and health administration skills competitions; attend leadership and professional development workshops; and work internships.

The following students earned the top five in the state and competed at the National Leadership conference: Lory Dugger, Sydney Duncan, and Robert Wood.

Lory Dugger placed in the top ten in the nation in Fundamental Spreadsheet Applications!

“I am tremendously pleased!,” said Michele Underwood, advisor. “They competed, volunteered, worked internships in finance, merchandising, and conference setup. They were able to visit the JFK Memorial, Berlin Wall Exhibit, and the Dallas Zoo.

“This opportunity would not have been possible without donations and fundraisers. We are grateful for the support.”
