BPA Regional and State Screening

Business Professionals of America is a (CTSO) Career Tech Student Organization. This organization is nationwide and allows students to develop skills if interested in the business field. Business Professionals of America is a good collaboration between workplace and students. Special Olympics is an event that BPA promotes. A Night in Hollywood was created to highlight not only the athletic side of students but also their creative side. This event helped fund $7,082 which gave back to Special Olympics.  

Regional screening starts off with the schools from Region 3 coming to Greenville CTC if students qualify (Add 6 schools). In order to qualify for competition a student needs to have a 2.25 GPA. Anyone who qualifies makes a speech and presents the speech in front of two judges, presents the speech in front of a camera, takes a test about Business Professionals of America, and the student has to go through an interview. When a student qualifies for a top 12 position for Region 3 the student is told the next day. After all of the candidates were chosen for Region 3, their speech was shown to the other Region 3 classes, and then the classes voted for what students should receive a position.

State screening also has certain qualifications. The needed qualifications were a 2.5 GPA. Also when going to state the students need a prepared speech. This speech will be presented in front of three judges and then they will interview the student after the student presents their speech. During state there will be a test and an essay the student has to take. State qualifiers will be called the night of screening if they qualify for a state position. If the student gets an opportunity to run for a state position he or she will go to Columbus to campaign and present their speech in front of state BPA members. Last years estimated membership was 7,600 people.

Representing Greenville Supply Chain Management for the 2015-2016 year Haylee Hanes and Addie Hart are running for a state position. Haylee Hanes’ campaign manager is Logan Tabler and Addie Hart’s campaign manager is Kayla Arnold. These two young women will be campaigning against 10 other students throughout the state. If elected as a state position they will represent BPA for the state of Ohio.
