Spring District Meeting is Spectacular!

Mamaroneck FBLA hosted the annual Spring District Meeting this year. The meeting was organized by Mamaroneck Student, and New York State District 3S Vice President, Chloe Weiser, and consisted of a Keynote Speaker, educational workshops, dinner, and fierce competition.

Members from Lakeland High School, Mount Vernon High School, Hendrick Hudson, and of course, Mamaroneck High School, were in attendance.

At the Spring District Meeting, members can compete in a plethora of competitions. In order to advance to the State Leadership Conference in the Spring, students must place either first or second in their respective competitions. Each of these competitions were speaking events, and took a lot of preparation by each competing member. Students could also take practice tests, and the highest scores were awarded ribbons.
