The DTCC chapter of Phi Beta Lambda recently returned from the FBLA-PBL National Leadership Conference in Nashville, TN with over 1600 student, advisor and professional division members in attendance. DTCC members attending were Briant Davis, Chris Hart, Michael Haythorn, George Johnson and Larry Novens accompanied by advisors Michele Parrish and Janice Kerber. While in Nashville we were inspired to greater heights by Robin Crow, the keynote speaker. Mr. Crow is a world renowned guitarist, author, speaker and founder of Dark Horse Recording. We attended numerous workshops, including Factors that Affect Security Processing for a Career in Intelligence by the Outreach Program Manager of the CIA. All students competed in competitive events and we brought home the following awards:
Chris Hart – Fourth place in Telecommunications
Michael Haythorn – Sixth place in Cyber Security and fifth place in Information Management
Larry Novens – Ninth place in Networking Concepts and ninth place in Telecommunications
