The first place honor was for money management. The chapter received third place nationally for the "outstanding project." Davis' business students and FBLA members mem-bers received first place awards in state competition in these same areas. Announcement of the national awards was made in July at the national na-tional convention held in Anaheim, Calif. Five students attended the convention with these local sponsors spon-sors contributing money for travel and convention expenses Adventureland Video, C. Udell Green, First Security Bank, First National Bank of Lay ton, American Amer-ican Savings, Brough Realty, Harry's Har-ry's Thriftway, Bowman's Market, Mar-ket, Clover Club, Barlow Insurance, Insur-ance, C.H. Dredge and Co., Tom Winegar's, Barnes Bank and Cherry Cher-ry Hill Campground. Work on these business management manage-ment projects was accomplished by about 100 business students and members of FBLA. Many were seniors who have graduated. Ame Murdock chaired the money management man-agement committee while Amber Ferrin chaired the outstanding project pro-ject committee and was the chief executive officer of the "company." "com-pany." To get a business project ready for state and national competition, the business students formed a corporation, cor-poration, drew up articles of incorporation incor-poration and conducted market and product research. It was determined that eight ounce solid chocolate hearts would sell well for Valentine's Day. Many committees were organized, orga-nized, including advertising and distribution groups. The students had a financial committee to do the accounting. They sold common and preferred stock. After the sales were completed, com-pleted, there was a distribution of the net profit. This activity taught the students about our free enterprise system and it promoted the goals of FBLA. To qualify for state judging, the . students wrote five reports. Each report was about 40 pages long. This is the second time Davis FBLA Chapter has received national na-tional honors. They have consistently consis-tently won state awards for many years. Largely responsible for a first place in national Future Business Leaders of America competition at Davis High School are: back, Louise Lchhead, left, adviser; John Shaw, Davis Vetter and Shelly losefa, adviser; -r.o. front, Dennis Lott, left, Anne Murdock and Mark Sanders, chapter members. .( 1 a |
