Breaking Barriers in Achievement
Approximately 8,000 members of the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) were in attendance during FBLA’s National Leadership Conference held in Orlando, Florida. From the opening session through the awards ceremony on day four, FBLA members were encouraged to follow this year’s theme of “Breaking Barriers.” Selected as the keynote speaker to kick off the conference, Paul inspired the audience members to set their own individual tempo by employing confidence and resilience when pursuing their niche in life.
The largest and oldest business student organization in the world, FBLA-PBL is comprised of a quarter of a million high school and middle school students, college and university students, faculty, educators, administrators, and business professionals. The premier organization for students preparing for careers in business, FBLA grooms them for "real-world" professional experiences.

Students Shine in St. Louis
The Gateway City was recent host to the Inaugural Star Leaders National Student Conference. A program of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, NASSP, this unique event celebrated excellence in student leadership and service.
Bringing together student leaders and their advisers from the National Association of Student Councils, National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society, the conference presented a great opportunity to meet and network with peers, acquire new ideas and motivation, and be inspired by those recognized for national awards.
"The 'Star Leaders' I encountered while presenting the closing session of this tremendous conference were inspiring in their desire to take active roles in their academic and personal growth," declared Paul. "These students have a great opportunity to affect the future!"
