ENJOY! http://www.fbla-pbl.org/Winter2010.html

The conference will culminate with our annual Awards Banquet (an Italian themed buffet), the presentation of awards, and the State Officer Installation Ceremony.
Members also planning on attending the PBL National Leadership Conference (NLC) to be held on July 9-12, in Nashville, Tennessee can guarantee their placement in the event(s) of their choice at the NLC by placing in competitive events.
All conference activities will be held on the U of A campus, except for the social event on Friday night at Sakura and Golf-N-Stuff.
