Building Business Alliances at Both Schools!

Much progress with building our Business Alliance at both schools with talented stakeholders in our community! Very grateful for the opportunity to get to know professionals who want to give back by getting involved and volunteering! Had our first BA meeting today at Centennial Campus and had 8 businesses from our NC State Centennial Campus, the Synergy in the room was amazing...all were on board with supporting our school in many ways...as Guest Speakers and possibly as tutor/mentors! We have an Hour of Code coming up and lining up volunteers for that as well. Following our meeting some stayed for a tour of our school.

Tomorrow is our second Business Alliance meeting at Carroll Leadership in Technology Magnet Middle School and we have some new members joining us and we are very grateful to have them. We are planning our College and Career Fair for Friday, March 10th and have many volunteers lined up!


Yesterday after school at Centennial we had an Interest meeting for any student who wanted to learn more about FBLA, Future Business Leaders of America and because we had three students stay who are very interested, we are reopening a Chapter at our school.  This will be my first time to be an Advisor to a Club and I am getting lots of input on how to navigate this new endeavor. There will be a competition in Greensboro we plan to go to in the Spring...not sure if we will be watching or participating, but from the excitement of our bright eyed students, I have a feeling we will be competing!
