Competitive Events
FBLA's National Awards Program recognizes and rewards excellence in a wide range of business and career-related areas. Through regional and state competitions at the Regional Conferences and the Spring State Leadership Conference, students compete in events testing their business knowledge and skills. Top regional winners are then eligible to compete at the state level and compete against other top winners from other counties. Then, the top state winners are then eligible to competer at the National Leadership Conference which will be in Atlanta, GA this year.
Coffee County has been one of the biggest business chapters in the state of TN in the past years. This year they are still one of those chapters. They have competed in numerous competitions and have had many members make it all the way to the National level.
