The Future Business Leaders of America club hosted a conference Oct 15. 
This year’s elected area Texas FBLA state officer, Carolina Amador, now has the responsibility of hosting the conference, which is something she has known about since March 2022.
“I’ve just kind of been trying to be ahead and plan ahead over the summer,” Amador said. “Now that it’s this coming weekend, it’s kinda a little nerve-racking but also very exciting.”
Since she is the school’s first FBLA state officer, Amador said she feels nervous but prepared for this upcoming Saturday.
“I’m kinda afraid that some people won’t find it thrilling when it’s not supposed to be fun. It’s supposed to be a time where FBLA members can come and, you know, learn about the business world and other aspects that they might not even know about,” Amador said.
