Business Professionals of America
Chapter Involvement
Business Professionals of America is a career and technical student organization that aims to develop leadership, academic, and technological skills in the workplace. Most schools have a chapter of Business Professionals of America. At my school, I am the president of my chapter. Some of the activities the chapter participates in are canned food drives and paper product drives. Our chapter also hosts an annual craft show. This craft show helps fundraise for our trip the State Leadership Conference and it puts on a nice event for the community. Another event we host is a scrapbooking crop. This event also helps our chapter pay for the State Leadership Conference. |
