Business instructor Carrie Miller and four students from the Highland Community College Technical Center joined approximately 5,000 students, advisors, and guests for the Business Professionals of America’s (BPA) 49th National Leadership Conference.

The highlight of the Conference was the presentation of the awards to the winners of the national contests.
Miller accompanied competition students McKenna Boller (Horton), Jacklynn Clary (Troy), Marissa Dexter (Horton), and Kaitlyn Logan (Pleasant Ridge), who are in the Administrative Assistant and Medical Office Assistant programs at the Tech Center, for the May 6-9 BPA competition in Anaheim.

This award is given for service in the community and being an active member in BPA.
