At least two members of the Uintah High FBLA Chapter qualified for Nationals this week at the State FBLA Leadership Conference in Layton. Emma Aycock and Slade Bowden both earned a trip to Nationals, which is being held in Orlando in late June. Emma finished 1st in Healthcare Administration. Slade finished second in Advertising. The other Utes who placed at State are Matthew Jensen (6th in Introduction to Financial Math and 9th in Introduction to Parliamentary Procedure); Ethan Pierce (7th in Accounting); Emma Aycock, Eliza Hallenberger, and Ethan Pierce (8th in Social Media Strategies); and Lauren Labrum (9th in Supply Chain Management).
