Castle Rock Teens place at FBLA Nationals!

Meet Lainey Ralston (left), sophomore and Ainsley Uhlenkott (right), senior at Castle Rock High School. They could very well be your next boss.

Lainey and Ainsley are part of a group called Future Business Leaders of America, which recently had a National Competition in Florida.

Lainey placed 4th in FBLA Principles and Procedures. Ainsley walked away with 7th place in Business Communications.

The FBLA-PBL National Awards Program recognizes and rewards excellence in a broad range of business and career-related areas.

At the State Leadership Conferences, students compete in events testing their business knowledge and skills. Top state winners are then eligible to compete for national awards at the National Leadership Conference each summer.

FBLA-PBL members have the competitive edge, as the best and brightest of FBLA and PBL convene to compete in leadership events, share their successes, and learn new ideas about shaping their career future through workshops and exhibits.

This four-day conference is considered the pinnacle of the FBLA-PBL experience, especially for those running for national office. FBLA-PBL has forged partnerships with industry leaders to underwrite competitive events and scholarships for students achieving national ranking.

Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) education association with a quarter million students preparing for careers in business and business-related fields.

Kudos to these smart, upstanding young women, putting Castle Rock Washington on the map!
