Region 5 Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) – comprised of Altoona Area High School, Bishop Guilfoyle, Claysburg-Kimmel, Forest Hills, Hollidaysburg Area, and Northern Bedford – held its Regional Leadership Conference on Jan. 14, 2022, at Saint Francis University. The chapters of Region 5 were very appreciative of Saint Francis University sponsoring the conference and their faculty for judging the events.
The day consisted of competitive events, presentations from SFU faculty, and the business meeting and awards conducted by Region 5 President and Pennsylvania First Vice President, Bailey Garver, and Region 5 Secretary Rebekah Claar. During the business meeting, voting delegates elected regional officers for the 2022-23 school year. Claysburg-Kimmel Junior Taylor Conrad was elected as president and C-K Sophomore Cameron Claycomb elected as secretary.
