NGTC Represented at PBL National Convention

North Georgia Technical College representatives place at a national competition.

The Phi Beta Lambda national competition was held in Chicago last month and six North Georgia Technical College PBL members from both the Clarkesville Chapter and the Blairsville Chapter traveled to the convention.

The Parliamentary Procedures team consisting of Debra Herbert of Lavonia, Susie Berry of Cleveland, Mia Sharpton of Clayton, Emily Sullens of Alto, and Ryan Norton of Lavonia placed 6th in the nation.

Meanwhile, Norton also placed 10th in Justice Administration.

Also competing this year were Craig Rhinehardt of Young Harris in Accounting Principles, and Emily Sullens and Mia Sharpton in Accounting for Professionals.

Phi Beta Lambda is the postsecondary extension of Future Business Leaders of America. With chapters in the majority of accredited colleges across the state, the NGTC chapter has been honored to have representatives advance to the national competition each year.

PBL Advisor and Accounting Instructor Dustin Emhart says they are tremendously proud of the students.

Emhart says they worked hard all the way through these last few months of competition, adding that at each event these students got better and better.
