Berryville Middle School FBLA sets sights on National Leadership Conference in San Antonio

Eighteen talented members of the Berryville Middle School Future Business Leaders of America chapter have earned a prestigious opportunity, a chance to compete at the FBLA National Leadership Conference in San Antonio.

After a stellar performance at the district and state levels, these young entrepreneurs and future civic leaders are ready to represent their community on the national stage. However, the journey from the classroom to the convention center requires significant investment in travel, lodging, and registration fees.

The road to San Antonio is already being paved by the generosity of local leaders. BMS FBLA would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the following businesses and organizations that have already stepped up to champion our students:

• Allen Rogers - Benjamin F. Edwards

• Arvest Bank

• Bank of 1889

• Berryville Rotary Club

• CS Bank

• Equity Bank

• Shelter Insurance - Tonya Williams, Agent

• Wingate Outdoor

These sponsors aren’t just funding a trip; they are investing in the professional development, confidence, and competitive spirit of Berryville’s next generation of CEOs, accountants, and community organizers.

While the support received thus far has been incredible, the chapter is still working to bridge the final gap in their travel budget. Ensuring that all 18 qualifying students can attend regardless of their financial background remains the top priority.

Want to help our students reach Texas? Business sponsorships, individual donations and corporate matching are all welcome. Every contribution goes directly toward student expenses, ensuring our students have their voices heard in San Antonio.

To donate or learn more about sponsorship levels, please contact: Sandon Williams, Co-FBLA Advisor, sawilliams@bobcat.k12.ar.us; or Johnice Glisson, Co-FBLA Advisor, jglisson2@bobcat.k12.ar.us
