Lincoln BPA students do well at State Conference

Lincoln's Business Professionals of America students participated in the virtual State Leadership Conference in March with more than 1700 students from across Montana.

Two of Lincoln's three high school teams placed in the top 20, and two students from the inaugural middle school chapter qualified to attend the National Conference.

"Makena Copenhaver and Delia Tolan placed to go to Nationals in Human Resource Exploration, which was a pilot program for middle school," said BPA advisor Laura Allen-Bullis, who added, "Nationals were virtual this year, so we opted out of the competition due to how expensive it was and not the best experience virtually."

Next year, the team hopes to raise funds to go to the State Conference in person as well as to travel out of state to compete at the National Conference with both the high school and middle school chapters, said Allen-Bullis.
