(Leavenworth, Kan.) - The University of Saint Mary had three top 10 finishes during competitions at the FBLA-Collegiate National Leadership Conference this summer in Orlando, Florida.
Charley Monahan finished sixth in the Future Business Executive competition. Ava Vanderweit placed seventh in Organizational Behavior & Leadership and ninth in Foundations of Communication. The competition was held June 24-27.
The annual conference draws college students from across the nation to showcase their skills in a variety of business-related disciplines, including management, marketing, sales, finance, accounting, and more.
The USM students earned a chance to compete at the national level after their success at the Kansas State competition earlier this year. The attendees included Monahan, Vanderweit, Justin Johnson, Alejandro Martinez, Colton Underwood, Garrison Woodall, and Brian Quintanilla.
