The 30th annual Conference will be held April 1-4 at John Ascuaga's Nugget. More than 400 high school students and 50 business education instructors are expected from across the state. In addition, more than 70 business leaders will be recruited to judge competitive events for member students.
Events range from public speaking and mock job interviews to project presentations.
The top students at the Conference will then advance to the National FBLA Leadership Conference in Orlando this summer. As a volunteer, participants observe and judge students in these competitive events and performances. Judging commitment varies according to the event but is generally sometime between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday, April 2, and Tuesday, April 3. Time commitments range from three to eight hours at a time for 12 events in all.
