BPA National Leadership Conference

IT’S TIME TO SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY!

‍We are so excited to attend the BPA National Leadership Conference. Business Professionals of America is the nation’s leading CTSO (Career and Technical Student Organization) for students pursuing careers in business management, information technology, finance, accounting office administration, and other business-related career fields.

NLC serves as the pinnacle event for BPA members, providing a unique opportunity to connect with peers from different parts of the country. By interacting with fellow members, you not only broaden your network but also gain exposure to diverse perspectives and innovative ideas that can inspire and enhance your own chapter’s initiatives. While in Chicago, we encourage you to seize the opportunity and make the most of everything the conference has to offer – whether it is exploring the exhibitor showcase, attending student or advisor workshops, or participating in community service activities.

It is an excellent way to blend camaraderie with service, fostering connections while making a positive impact on society. We also urge you to network with our exhibitors, partners, and sponsors who play a crucial role in making NLC possible. Engaging with them not only fosters relationships but also provides valuable insights and resources that can elevate the success of your future endeavors.

Seizing the opportunity to participate in all these activities can truly enrich the overall conference experience and create lasting memories for everyone involved.
