SLC (Hershey)

State Leadership Conference ~ Hershey, Pa

Each year, UD-FBLA attends the PA-FBLA State Leadership Conference in Hershey, PA. 

We bring academically qualifying students to represent Region 20 at a state level competition.
(usually 1st - 5th place in a testing events & 1st place in a performance events)

Students are encouraged to practice ahead of time for their events and take advantage of the many resources available on the competitive events tab.  SLC results determine who qualifies for the NLC.

Springtime in the Park 

If HersheyPark is open during the weekend we attend the SLC, we will try to leave early Sunday Morning before the conference begins to enjoy a day at the park. This is a group decision.
