NLC Experience
Ryan Solis, who placed in Impromptu Speaking says:
"This was my second year as an FBLA member and my second time attending The National Leadership Conference. This year’s conference was hosted in an outstanding city, run by an outstanding organization, and was an outstanding experience where I got to grow as an aspiring business leader. Through preparation and the enduring support of my FBLA advisor and fellow chapter members, I was able to finish third in the Nation in my event. For me, being named the State Champion of Texas was a surreal moment, and now to be recognized as top three in the nation while representing Eastwood and Texas FBLA was a great honor. I am very grateful to be a part of an organization such as FBLA which means a great deal to thousands of young aspiring students. Through FBLA I have been able to learn communication, commitment, and confidence. FBLA has given me a platform to grow as a speaker, as a student, and as a leader. As an intern for FBLA at this years NLC I was able to meet with the leadership of FBLA-PBL and see how they truly care about the success of students and how this organization opens doors of opportunities for so many students. As president of my local chapter I see the impact FBLA has not just on me, but on my fellow chapter members. I see that more than completion, FBLA inspires students to learn and to grown their knowledge of business. This ability to make education of business exciting and fun is the reason why, in my opinion, FBLA is the most impactful Career and Technical Student Organization.”
