How we came to be!

     The Lansing High School chapter of FBLA was started late in the fall of 2004, by Mrs. Sue Lednicky. Starting late, they were unable to compete at the district level, but they were able to observe many of the events. After districts, the engines roared and the new chapter was fired up for the state competition. At state five members placed in four events. Stephen Fischer placed first in Business Calculations that year allowing him to represent the state of Kansas at the 2005 National Leadership Conference in Orlando, Florida, a.k.a. Disney World. The club raised $7,000 in two months to allow the following seven students to attend the national conference: Stephen Fischer, Demarin Motgomery, Ashley Kings, Marcus Bean, Samantha Mitchell, Brittany Atchison and Matt Humphreys. Five of these were officers for the 2005-2006 school year; therefore, they attended to partcipate in leadership workshops. Ashley helped get the club started and was the only senior, so she got a treat.

     In our second year we had 44 members. Several members placed at both the district and state conferences. Due to our members participation the state conference, we came home with fifth place (overall) in chapter points at the 2006 state conference. This was out of 77 chapters represented. It was an awsome feeling for the organization! Four members--Stephen Fischer, Matt Humphreys,Sean Wooley II, and Marcus Bean,--qualified for the national conference to be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennesee. Sean Wooley II qualified in two events, but could only participate in one. He chose to compete in Stephen and Matt in Business Ethics, which was a brand new event that year. Good thing Sean mad this choice, because they came home with 6th place in the nation. Marcus Bean competed in Networking Concepts. He did not place, but he had fun.

     For our third year we were back down to around twenty five members. once again the organization had a good year holding fundraisers and preparing for district and state conferences. Tis was our first year for babysittingdistrict staff's children during all teacher inservices and parent-teacher conferences. It went so well that it was continued in 2007-2008. Members once again placed in the top ten of different events at district and state. It was our first year to do Parlimentatary Procedure, and the team did a great job bringing home 5th place at state. Zach Beal placed 4th as a freshman in Introductionto Parlimentary Procedure. Matt Humphreys and Hall Laurence qualified for nationals in both Business Ethics and in Entrepreneurship. Adam new qualified in Spreadsheet Design. Once again we were off to Nationals to the latter part of June. For 2007 nationals were held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Conference Center in Chicago, Illinois. Another good year ended with Mrs. Lednicky getting three stitches in here right big toe after cutting it in a cab (dont wear flip-flops in a cab and crawl across the seat). It also ended on a high note after Hal and Matt took 4th place out og 85 teams in Business Ethics. Students will be gearing up for another good year in 2007-2008.
