Students presented with accolades for leadership & community service
(Seguin) – Seguin High School Business Professionals of America students joined 6,500 students from across the US, plus China and Puerto Rico, for this year’s National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, CA, at the end of April.
Seguin students Brylynn Baker, Kyra Casey, Kyle Fiebig, Kayla Hernandez, Yvette Hernandez, Kimberly Martinez, and Danielle Nyame were recognized as Ambassadors. For their activities in community service and leadership, they received Ambassador Torch Awards. Anahi Marquez also earned her Ambassador award but did not attend.
Seguin High School teacher Diana Weber is the longest-running BPA advisor at SHS as well as the State Advisor for Texas. She was pleased by this year’s attendees and their commitment to the program.
“We were well represented at the conference with a great group of students. We were excited to have so many students recognized for their hard work and dedication and to be spotlighted with the Quality Chapter Award. We look forward to their continued success and watching them grow,” said Weber.
Seguin High School students were also recognized with the Quality Chapter Award, having volunteered at the conference and serving as Texas voting delegates at the state caucus. Serving as Area 3, Region 3 President was Kyle Fiebig, who worked with the Texas Leadership Team during the conference. Fiebig and Kim Martinez were recognized for completing the Student Certification Series as they learned about BPA and ways to serve, network, and advocate.
“Seeing our chapter thrive and succeed this past year has made me endlessly grateful and proud to call Seguin BPA my family. I am so proud of our members earning their Ambassador Torch Awards, Student Certifications, Quality Chapter Award, and everything else we earned throughout this year. We all had a blast at NLC 2023, and I had a great time representing Seguin BPA and Texas BPA. I have a tremendous honor to be Chapter President and seeing our chapter make it to Nationals has made me so thankful for every single member of BPA. I can’t wait to see what is in store for us next year,” Fiebig said.
While at the conference, Seguin BPA students competed in Open Events and had the opportunity to participate in the Days of Service Events representing SHS and their hometown on a national stage.
