CLARKESVILLE — The Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) national competition was held in Chicago recently and North Georgia Technical College was represented by six PBL members.
The Parliamentary Procedures team consisting of Debra Herbert of Lavonia, Susie Berry of Cleveland, Mia Sharpton of Clayton, Emily Sullens of Alto, and Ryan Norton of Lavonia placed 6th in the nation. Ryan Norton also placed 10th in Justice Administration. Also competing this year were Craig Rhinehardt of Young Harris in Accounting Principles, and Emily Sullens and Mia Sharpton in Accounting for Professionals.
The first two days of the conference were spent attending learning and networking sessions on topics such as interview skills and developing your personal brand at the Institute for Leaders.
As the students began the competitive rounds, Advisors Green, Emhart, and Brad Cagle served as coordinators for events. Emhart also had a chance to participate in the open competition with other advisors and judges. He placed second in Current Events in Business, and he placed first in Sports Management and Business Ethics.
Phi Beta Lambda is the postsecondary extension of Future Business Leaders of America. With chapters in the majority of accredited colleges across the state, the NGTC chapter has been honored to have representatives advance to the national competition each year.
