ULM’s Phi Beta Lambda chapter attended the Louisiana PBL State Conference in Lafayette, Louisiana on March 13. The chapter is a collegiate business student organization.

Kaici Gordon, Stephen Fuselier and Colbren Thomas competed in Business Presentation, while Clarence Nash competed in Future Business Executive.

Nash said the competition included a process of many steps.

“I had to do an interview for FBE, prepare a resume, application and took online tests for the other three,” Nash, a freshman marketing major, said.

Nash said he is nervous about the results of the competition, but said he enjoyed the experience.

The winners of both events will be determined at the end of the month, where other chapter members will compete in other competitive events, as well.

The winners will advance to the National Leadership Conference, which is to be held at the end of June in Chicago, Illinois.

Stephen Fuselier ran for Louisiana state historian, while Mattie Kincannon ran for Louisiana state reporter.  Fuselier and Kincannon were both successful in their campaigns, and both are to hold officer positions for the 2015-2016 school year.

ULM would like to thank the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for hosting the conference this year.
