Welcome message from Emery Peck, 2022-23
Wrightstown FBLA President
Welcome to the Wrightstown FBLA page! My name is Emery Peck and I am the President of Wrightstown FBLA for the current school year. I have been a superior active member of FBLA since my freshman year and I have been a part of many activities with the club as well. FBLA has provided me with many opportunities and experiences both in and out of the business world. FBLA gives students the opportunity to help out in the community through various activities while also competing in competitive events and learning about business.
FBLA is a popular club in schools all across the nation that allows students to learn about the business world through its wide variety of competitive events. These events could be tests, presentations, interviews, or more. Each year, members can compete at the Region III Leadership Conference, and this past year 78 of our 89 members competed and Wrightstown placed first overall for the 13th year in a row! We had 57 members place top 5 in their events, and 41 placed top 3 and moved on to State. Of those 41 we had 7 members place in the top 5 in their events at State, and 4 moved on to Nationals. We also started a middle school chapter this past year. Of the middle school members who competed at regionals, 9 of them moved on to State, and 3 of them moved on to Nationals, where all 3 placed in the top 10 in their events! Graycee Fernandez and Sabrine Narvasa placed 9th in Exploring Business Issues, and Olivia Peck placed 2nd in Business Etiquette. Our club also runs other activities throughout the year, such as our NCAA March Madness brackets, the eyeglasses drive, writing cards for senior citizens in the community, and running our annual Senior Citizen Christmas Party. The Senior Citizen Christmas Party is an event we run every year where senior citizens in the community can come in and have a good time with food, games, and prizes.
I’ve been a member of FBLA all throughout high school, and I would recommend everyone to join. Not only does this club give many opportunities to its members, but it also works as a great resume builder.
You can find more information and stay up to date with our club on social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter), or you can contact me or Mr. Doell, the club’s advisor, with any questions.
