Thanks to her strong finish in Management Information Systems, Willoh will have an opportunity to compete this summer at the FBLA National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, Calif. Top-four finishers automatically advance to nationals. However, state conference competitors who finished fifth or lower may attend if an automatic qualifier declines their berth.

Kudos to all of LCTI’s competitors and congratulations to our nationals qualifier. This is how we achieve!
