MURFREESBORO — America’s
future business leaders will test their mettle against their peers in a
competition at MTSU this week.
The Future Business Leaders of America’s Region 4 Conference
is slated for Thursday, Feb. 6, in the Student Union ballroom.
Some 150 youngsters from nine counties will vie all morning
long for top prizes in categories such as business ethics, global business,
management decision-making, entrepreneurship, marketing, client service,
impromptu speaking, job interviews and public speaking.
“This is an opportunity for these students to learn about
business in high school, see what business is all about and determine if they’d
like to enter the business world,” said Kay Blasingame-Boike, lecturer in the
MTSU Department of Business Communication and Entrepreneurship.
Dr. David Urban, dean of the Jones College of Business, will
address the students at 1 p.m. Following Urban’s speech, there will be a
drawing for two Samsung tablets and a number of Walmart gift cards for
students. All teachers who attend also will receive Walmart gift cards.
