WHAT: Six students from Gabrielino High School’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) program will represent San Gabriel Unified School District at the 2017 National Leadership Conference (NLC).

Gabrielino students will test their publication and graphic design, business communication and public speaking skills in a national competition that challenges students to apply classroom concepts in a workforce-simulated environment.

WHEN: 10 a.m. Friday, June 30
8:30 a.m. Saturday, July 1

WHERE: Anaheim Convention Center
800 W. Katella Ave., Anaheim

DETAILS: Founded in 1940, FBLA brings business and students together through leadership and career development programs.

Gabrielino students will present and defend the development process of their business proposals before a panel of judges; seniors Bianca Lee and Emily Wang will present publication design projects, and sophomores Casey Lee and Jin Lee will showcase their graphic design skills.

Sophomore Katherine Xie and senior Victoria Nea will also vie for top points in the business communication and public speaking events, respectively.

Gabrielino’s students qualified for the 75th annual NLC after strong performances at the California State Leadership Conference in April.

The top 10 finalists from each category will receive plaques.
