The BPA National Leadership Conference will be held May 6-10, 2015 in Anaheim, CA. Those students that qualify for Nationals will be competing with students from around the Nation in business/computer events. Approx. 5000 students will be in attendance. Tartan students will have prepared for this event by creating competitive materials custom to specific competitive guidelines, participating in co-curricular Business Professionals of America activities, and participating in professional business activities. Students attending have earned the right to attend Nationals by qualifying from both the Regional and State levels. Students have additional educational opportunities available at the event, including a college fair, industry certifications in Microsoft Office, and leadership classes.
Attending this conference is generally a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity for students because of the significant cost of attending ($800 per student). Students do some fundraising events to off-set the cost of attending, but generally pay for most of it out-of-pocket.
