Joseph Hiatt, Boyd County FBLA President, attended one of the three 2019 National Fall Leadership Conferences (NFLC). This year, the locations for the three National Fall Leadership Conferences were Denver, Birmingham, and Washington D.C. Joseph traveled by bus to Denver on November 14. The conference was held at the Sheraton Denver Downtown with nearly 300 Nebraska members and advisers in attendance. While at the conference, members and advisers had the opportunity to explore Denver, listen to motivational speakers and attend workshops to enhance leadership skills.
Members and advisers toured various places including Hammond Candy Factory, the Money Museum at the Federal Reserve Bank, and The Mile High Stadium. On Friday night, the conference kicked off with nearly 2,000 in attendance at the opening session. John Guydon, keynote speaker, inspired members to be positive and to maximize efficiency. Three national officers from Nebraska led the general sessions, one of which was Drake Vorderstrasse from Nebraska. Anne Bonney was the keynote speaker at the closing session and encouraged members to embrace change and discomfort.
Additionally, Joseph accepted recognition for Boyd County’s Super Sweeps project award at the opening session. In addition to the general sessions, the conference offered a variety of workshops that Joseph attended. Joseph also had meetings with the National Treasurer’s Council, where he serves as Executive Director. Throughout the conference, he networked with other leaders and gained knowledge that he is ecstatic to apply to Boyd County FBLA. The National Fall Leadership Conference really showed Joseph how much he values FBLA.
