CLARKESVILLE - The Georgia Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) North District Conference held a competition on the Murphy Campus of West Georgia Technical College recently. Students from colleges from across North Georgia competed including six North Georgia Technical College PBL members. All six NGTC students will now be heading to the State Competition that will be held in Atlanta in April.

Returning for their second year of competition were Susie Berry of Cleveland, Ryan Norton of Lavonia, Mia Sharpton of Clayton, and Emily Sullens of Alto. Mia Sharpton of Clayton and Craig Rhinehardt of Young Harris participated for the first time.

NGTC took top honors in the Parliamentary Procedures category with Susie Berry placing first followed by Emily Sullens in second, Mia Sharpton in third, and Debra Herbert in fourth.

Susie Berry also competed in the Battle of the Chapters and was the first student to win this event from the NGTC Chapter.

Other first place finishes included Ryan Norton in both Computer Applications and Justice Administration, Debra Herbert in Word Processing, and Mia Sharpton in Accounting for Professionals. Second place awards went to Emily Sullens in Accounting for Professionals and Craig Rhinehardt in Retail Management.

The college has two chapters of Phi Beta Lambda and for the first time in several years the Blairsville campus chapter was also represented.

"Although our chapter is small, 100% of our members who competed won an award," said NGTC Clarkesville Campus Advisor Brad Cagle. "They all won awards in each event they competed in. We congratulate each of these students and we are very proud of them. We look forward to hearing more great news in April at the state competition."
