MMA Cadets Attend National FBLA Conference in San Antonio

The cadets spent the first evening and next morning in San Antonio in study sessions for the Global Business online competition on June 29. After competition, the MMA group attended the opening session for the conference, joining 12,000 students from across the USA.  

On Sunday, they attended Cowboy Church in Hondo, TX with relatives of the Reynards. That afternoon the group visited Texas ranches and enjoyed a steak dinner, grilled on an open fire. 

The following day, the cadets attended workshops on leadership and final performances for Sales Presentation, Business Ethics, and Emerging Business Issues. The evening hours were spent on the Riverwalk with a riverboat ride, shopping and ice cream!

On the last day of the conference, they toured the Alamo, the San Jose Mission, and Fort Sam Houston before attending the closing session.

Thank you to MMA and cadet parents for supporting such activities and giving these cadets the opportunity to attend the conference!
