NYS FBLA District 3S Spring District Meeting

This past Friday, Mamaroneck FBLA hosted the annual Spring District Meeting. The meeting was organized by Michaela Gualano, a senior at Mamaroneck High School and New York State District 3S Vice President. The meeting consisted of a keynote speaker, various educational workshops, intense competitions, and a delicious dinner.

The keynote speaker was Carol Scheffler, coordinator of student affairs at Mamaroneck High School. Joining Mrs. Scheffler were a group of Mamaroneck student panelists, consisting of Seniors Jessica Katz, Ali James, and Kerry Soropoulos. The students shared stories of their high school experience, hoping to inspire and motivate members in attendance through their own personal stories.

Attending the meeting were members from Lakeland High School, Hendrick Hudson High School, and of course Mamaroneck High School.
