Sophomore Sophia Weber went through an application and interview process to gain a higher leadership position in the Career and Technical Student Organization, Future Business Leaders of America. She currently serves at the state level as the Kansas FBLA Executive Vice President. Kansas FBLA is a part of the Mountain Plains Region, as well as nine other states, and is under the student-leadership of Mountain Plains Region Vice President, Ilanora Peterson. In early September, Sophia Weber applied to be the Executive Assistant on the Mountain Plains Region National Council. She has recently received word that she has been accepted to that position and she is excited to serve FBLA on the National Level. Sophia Weber is the first National Council member that Herington High School has had and that FBLA Adviser, Lisa Beye has had in her 27 years of service to Future Business Leaders of America. In her time as an Adviser, she has had ten state officers between Centre High School and Herington High School. Sophia Weber is incredibly grateful for all of the guidance, support, and wisdom that her Adviser continues to provide as she continues to expand her leadership roles in FBLA.
