Today's Students - Tomorrow's Business Professionals
The mission of BPA is to contribute to the preparation of a world-class workforce through the advancement of leadership, citizenship, academic, and technological skills. Business Professionals of America is an intra-curricular activity that is part of an education program designed to develop leadership abilities, competency in business occupations, and interest in American business. BPA is a national career and technical student organization. The organization consists of 23 state associations and more than 43,000 members.
 Deadline for the contest is October 23rd!This past May, Business Professionals of America held its annual National Leadership Conference in Reno, Nevada. The week was filled with charisma and excitement from all participants. Delaware boasted almost seven hundred participants at the NLC, including secondary and middle level students.
We stayed at the Grand Sierra Resort, fully equipped with its own gokart track, arcade, laser tag, indoor mall/food court and theatre. Many students who took part in the local activities were in awe of the beauty of Lake Tahoe, ecstatic that they found gold in Virginia City, and some froze as they went jet-skiing in a freezing cold lake. Overall, the NLC gave BPA students a great get-away and rewarded them well for their hard-work and dedication. Despite Delaware’s small size, the state was represented to the fullest. Delaware was recognized 54 times throughout the middle level and secondary award ceremonies. Of these 54 mentions included were 52 competitive events awards or finalists, one merit scholar, and Delaware receiving The Professional Cup. Delaware brought home 36 Special Recognition
Awards and 8 Ambassador Torch Awards. Delaware has succeeded in finding its fit!
