The Business Professionals of America, Wylie East Chapters, are having a record breaking year with no end in sight.
The group had so much success last year that it separated into two chapters this year.
With a focus on its core strengths; business, finance and information technology, the group sent 28 active BPA members to the Regional Leadership Conference and competition in January.
“Competitors put in numerous hours of hard work and preparation leading up to the conference,” said James Hood, BPA mentor and WISD business and finance instructor said. “It paid off, which was evidenced by the fact that they brought home a record 31 total medals.”
