Thirteen Benjamin Logan High School Business Professionals of America members traveled to the Columbus Convention Center March 10–11 to compete in the Ohio BPA State Leadership Conference.
From that group, six BPA members have qualified to attend the BPA National Leadership Conference in Orlando, Fla., from May 6–11: Economic Research Team members Addison Scott, Makayla Williamson, Kearstin Linkinhoker, and Caroline Spriggs, who received first place; Kameron Lockwood, C# Programming, who received sixth place; and Kaidyn Green, Personal Financial Management, who received eighth place.
In addition, other BLHS BPA members who placed in the Top 20 in their contests include:
• Carter Lyden – Fourth in Ethics and Professionalism;
• Keaten Varner —11th in Banking and Finance;
• Paityn Anspach — 18th in Fundamental Accounting; and
• Hunter Andrix — 20th in Personal Financial Management.
Students participated in contests and voted to elect the new Ohio BPA state officers. After competing, members enjoyed dinner and strengthened their team-building and communication skills by working through an escape room.
Before the final contest results were announced, senior Isabella Cavallini gave her final remarks as the 2024 Ohio BPA State Secretary.
Sophomore Lydia Johnson reflected on her experience, stating, “My experience was lovely. I liked being a voting delegate after competing. The environment was great, and I enjoyed being with fellow BPA members.”
