On March 12, Sonoraville High School Future Business Leaders of America traveled to Athens for the State Leadership Conference. Members enjoyed the fun opening session and were able to meet with some of the other 4,000 members in attendance from across the state. Students participated in constructive workshops, including an interactive session led by state officers detailing how to start your own business while still in high school. In addition to workshops, students advancing from the Region Leadership Conference also competed in their events.
At the awards ceremony, Nick P. received eighth place in Public Speaking I.
