Experience
Business Professionals of America
As a former member and vast knowledge attained of commercial aspects for high school students who wish to pursue business, I attest to meetings with local high schools in the Akron area who participate in Business Professionals of America (BPA). In my advisement, I guide students to better understand the search for employment, the composition of business and marketing plans, and the niche for public speaking.
As a judge for yearly competitions that occur at the Spring Leadership Conference (March) in Columbus, Ohio, I witness and critique the successors to regional competitions who then can make it to the National Leadership Conference (NLC), where all states compete against each other. Ranging from my personal experiences in Prepared Speech to Global Marketing, I partake in the analysis and awarding of qualified teenagers who demonstrate commercial competencies.
Offer screening occurs once a year in Columbus, Ohio, where nearly 100 students introduce themselves in a test of public speech, extemporaneous questions, and their professional portfolio. The task at hand it to narrow down the lot of students into the top 14 who would be represent the Ohio Association and seek to support the organization's visions.
