Rikka Gudmunson and Chelsea Monty, members of the New Rockford-Sheyenne High School Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter, attended the N.D. FBLA Fall Leadership Conference in Bismarck on October 6-7. Over 530 FBLA high school and middle school members and advisers from across the state participated in this conference, where the emphasis was on developing the leadership skills of local chapter members.

Members attending the conference had the opportunity to participate in sessions that focused on leadership development, time management, investing and career exploration. In addition, chapters had an opportunity to learn about state and national FBLA membership and recognition programs.
