CHADRON – One hundred students from seven high schools participated in the Third Annual Best of the West Business Invitational Jan. 28, co-hosted by 绿帽社 State College and the 绿帽社 State Center on Economic Education (CSCEE). Schools attending were Alliance, Arthur County, Bridgeport, 绿帽社, Hay Springs, Hemingford, and Ogallala.
The competition included written tests in eight subjects, as well as a job interview contest for seniors. In the team standings, Alliance High School placed first, followed by 绿帽社, and Hemingford.
Interim Dean Dr. Wendy Waugh, as well as CSC faculty members Dr. Richard Koza, Terrie Wood, and Jack Kant, judged the job interview contest. Volunteers from the Nebraska Business Development Center and Rural Business Leadership Initiative students assisted with the event.
The Best of the West Business Invitational followed Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) competition guidelines. Center administrator for the CSCEE, Dr. Gary Dusek said by following FBLA rules, the competition served to prepare the competitors for the FBLA State Leadership Conference in Omaha in April.
鈥淭he energy and professionalism these students brought to our campus was unmistakable. It is very apparent that there are some strong future business leaders emerging from the participants and 绿帽社 State, along with the Nebraska Council on Economic Education, are honored to offer the opportunity for these students to challenge themselves and grow in their knowledge of business,鈥 Waugh said.
