The Cheney High School FBLA Club (Future Business Leaders of America) competed last weekend at the Washington State Business Leader conference in Spokane, April 15-17.

In a competition of 1,700, the chapter had 53 students attend the conference. At the awards ceremony 21 different students placed top-5 in state 17 times with 15 students placing first, second or third to earn automatic entry to the FBLA national conference to be held June 29 – July 2 in Chicago.
