Huron BPA chapter captures five national titles at BPA National Leadership Conference

Thirty-eight student members of Huron’s Business Professionals of America (BPA) Chapter, led by advisors Christy Garrett and Jonathan Cook, went online from April 26 to May 9 to compete in the BPA National Leadership Conference. 

This year, 29 out of the 38 Huron members placed within the top 10 in the nation in their respective events.

Although the competition was originally scheduled to take place at Disney World this year, the students still had a great time competing virtually, said Cook.

We honor the students named below for their outstanding effort at the National Leadership Conference.

The chapter took home a total of 67 awards. They received five first-place awards, 23-second place awards, 11 third-place awards, three fourth-place awards, six fifth-place awards, three sixth-place awards, three seventh-place awards, five eighth-place awards, four ninth-place awards, and one 10th place award in addition to one gold medal, one silver medal,  and one bronze medal in open events.

Huron BPA members virtually tutored middle school students from Slauson and Scarlett in math and English. Additionally, Huron raised $511 towards Food Gatherers, an organization that distributes food to low-income families and individuals in the Ann Arbor community.
