Colusa FBLA Students Compete at State Leadership Conference

Colusa FBLA had the amazing opportunity to attend the 2025 California FBLA State Leadership Conference in Anaheim over the Spring Break (April 24 through April 28). There were many fun and engaging activities, whether it be testing for competitions, the many workshops and guest speakers, or meeting many new people who love FBLA just as much as us.

At the Northern Section Meeting, we had many individuals from the chapter get recognized for completing various projects and we achieved Hollis and Kitty Guy Gold Seal merit for the 26th year in a row! Many new Section officers were installed in the rose ceremony, including Tyler Hughes (9) who will serve as the Northern Section Leadership Associate and Rajdeep Shoker (11) who will serve as the Northern Section President. Ella Duran (9) was also appointed the position of Executive Secretary for the 2025-2026 section team.

There was a fun night time social with dancing and food, and we were even able to go to the Anaheim Garden Walk for watching movies and shopping. At the awards ceremony, our very own Belsi Felix (12) walked out during the Parade of Presidents and screamed “Colusa High School! Redhawk Country…” which the chapter responded to with a “Let’s fly!!!” Lizeth Ramirez (11) was able to place 10th in Job Interview and will be moving on to NLC. And to cap off the night, Rajdeep Shoker was installed into State office as the California State Vice President representing the Northern Section.

To end this amazing conference, we had the wonderful chance to visit Disney’s California Adventure. There were many fun rides and delicious food, lots of shopping, and not to mention the famous World of Color show which we had glimpses of from our hotel room. Colusa FBLA would like to give a big thank you to Miss Ferraiuolo and Mrs. McCollough for chaperoning us, especially our advisor Miss F who did a wonderful job for her first SLC as an advisor!

Miss Ferraiuolo, Lizeth Ramirez, and Rajdeep Shoker will all be attending the National Leadership Conference on June 28 through July 3, 2025 back at Anaheim!
