RE: All Crowder FBLA Students Qualify for National Competition

Neosho, MO – Crowder College Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) students competed
at the Missouri State Leadership Conference this past weekend at Columbia College in Columbia,
MO. All 12 students earned the opportunity to compete in the national competition in at least
one event, after their successes at the state level.
