Greenville Career Technical Center is thrilled to announce ten students from the Supply Chain Management Program have earned positions on Business Professionals of America’s Leadership team!

On Tuesday, September 16, the Region 3 Business Professionals of America (BPA) held their annual officer screening at Greenville High School.   Twenty-nine students from six area schools screened for officer positions. Miami Valley Career Tech Center, Franklin Monroe, Valley View, Milton Union, Wayne and Greenville are all a part of the newly formed Region 3 for Business Professionals of America.  Ten students out of the thirteen executive board seats were earned by juniors and seniors from the Supply Chain Management (SCM) program at Greenville Career Technical Center!  The screening process includes a LIVE interview, the presentation of a personally written speech to judges, a web based exam covering the history of Business Professionals of America as well as past officers names and positions held at the Regional and State levels, finally the candidates all presented their speech for recording purposes to be viewed by the full membership to determine officer positions.

 All SCM students participated for real life experience with interviewing and presenting in front of business professionals. The students studied the BPA and memorized facts and details. In preparation for the competition the students had the opportunity to create a personal resume for themselves and learn about the factors of a successful interview. It is challenging for young people to not only get past the nervous state, but also express themselves clearly when in a challenging situation.

The next step in the BPA process will be for candidates who desire to compete for an officer position to do so in Columbus on October 20.

The tag line for Business Professionals of America – Today’s students, tomorrow’s business professionals, demonstrates the purpose for the program.  BPA is structured to help develop effective leaders, team players and promotes professionalism.

Please join in congratulating the students who will serve on BPA’s Executive Board for the 2014-2015 school year and for the entire SCM team for accomplishing a great feat – facing fears and feeling success!
