East Union Community Schools

Students from East Union achieved top honors at the Iowa Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) State Leadership Conference held in Cedar Rapids, March 29th - 31st. Four members competed in business events, with one student qualifying for the National Leadership Conference in San Antonio this summer.

"Our students demonstrated exceptional skill, dedication, and professionalism," said DJ Christensen, FBLA Chapter Advisor. "These accomplishments reflect their commitment to developing business skills".

Key Award Winners Included:
*Brock Driskill: 1st Place in Economics, 1st Place in Agribusiness, 1st Place in Personal Finance, and 4th Place in Securities and Investments.
*Cyler Wuebker: 7th Place in Job Interview.
*Carter Harper: 8th Place in Intro to Public Speaking.
*Peyton Cunningham: 9th Place in Future Business Leader.

The State Leadership Conference brought together over 1,200 students to participate in competitive events, attend leadership workshops, and network, preparing them for careers in business and entrepreneurship.

DJ said, “I am extremely proud of these students. We are a brand new club and did not know what to expect going into district and state competitions. These four members not only placed 1st or 2nd at Districts but also went on to State and finished in the top 10 overall.”
