The Milgard Center for Business Analytics (CBA) is proud to announce that we are sponsoring the Management Decision Making competition at this year’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) virtual conference in April 2021.
Washington FBLA is the premier organization for middle and high school students with career interests in business. Through leadership and career development programs, competitions, and trainings, Washington FBLA prepares student leaders for higher education and the transition from school to career.
Washington FBLA’s goal is to provide sponsored awards to all of the first place winners in the state level competitions. The CBA sponsorship award will assist students in the costs associated with attending the National Leadership Conference, where only the top 4% of FBLA Members in the nation have the opportunity to compete for national honors.
FBLA students gain critical business skills, complete community service projects, network with businesses, and learn the leadership skills that are in high demand in the workplace.
“The Milgard Center for Business Analytics is creating several initiatives in 2021 to connect and engage with high school students. Our goal is to help students learn about and prepare for a future career in data and analytics, particularly for those with an interest business and data. The Milgard School of Business has a long history of connection with FBLA and the CBA is proud to get involved this year as well” says Haluk Demirkan, Ph.D. (Professor, Assistant Dean of Analytics Innovation and Founding Director of CBA and the Master of Science in Business Analytics program at UW Tacoma).
Washington FBLA is always seeking partners either financially or through volunteering opportunities. I encourage you to connect with FBLA to help us support the Future Business Leaders of America. Learn more about how to partner with FBLA here.
