Mableton Woman Places First in Business Competition

Continuing their success from the recent district competition, several Chattahoochee Technical College students, including Deborah Wilson of Mableton, took home honors in the Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) state competition recently.

The competition was held in conjunction with the 2012 Phi Beta Lambda State Leadership Conference at the Westin Atlanta Hotel at Perimeter April 13-15. Other top finishers were Waymon Carr of Marietta, Erick Castro of Smyrna and Jennifer White of Smyrna.

This year Wilson, Carr and Castro have been invited to compete in the same events at the National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas in June.

Chattahoochee Technical College top finishers include:

• Carr and Wilson            3rd Place   Business Presentation
• Carr                             1st Place   Human Resource Management
• Wilson                          1st Place    Marketing Analysis & Decision Making

• White                           5th Place   Computer Applications
• White                           3rd Place   Word Processing

 Phi Beta Lambda, a division of Future Business Leaders of America, also hosts annual state and national competitions that recognize and reward excellence in a broad range of business and career-related areas. Through state-based competition at the spring State Leadership Conferences, students compete in events testing their business knowledge and skills. Top state winners then are eligible to compete for honors at the National Leadership Conference each summer.
