Community Event

FBLA Conference

American Woodmark is thrilled to have had the opportunity to partner with our local Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter to host a conference in Winchester. A team of 22 individuals worked diligently to organize seven competitions and four workshops for 43 future business leaders, and it was truly a rewarding experience.

At American Woodmark, we take pride in staying involved with our local communities, and our partnership with the FBLA is a prime example of this commitment. By supporting the development of future business leaders, we are helping to build a stronger, more prosperous future for everyone.

The FBLA is an incredible organization that provides high school students with the opportunity to develop leadership skills, participate in community service, and prepare for careers in business. Through events like the conference we hosted, FBLA members gain real-world experience in a variety of business-related fields, from entrepreneurship to marketing to finance. They also develop critical thinking skills, learn how to work as a team, and gain a deeper understanding of the business world.

The impact of the FBLA cannot be overstated. By empowering young people with the skills and experiences they need to succeed in the business world, the organization is helping to create a brighter future for everyone. And through its focus on community service, the FBLA is also actively working to improve the communities in which its members live and work.

Overall, our partnership with the FBLA was a fantastic experience, and we are proud to have been a part of it. We look forward to continuing to work with this incredible organization and supporting the development of future business leaders in our community.
