State BPA in Boise was a success!!!

All the students worked hard and are already talking about what we can improve on and do for next year. All students competed in either a test, presentation, or an open. There were also four students who interned at the competition and helped the state officers run the conference, learning leadership and communications skills.

BPA also went and visited the Capital Buiding and sat in on delegation and voting. It was a great experience all around. So proud of this team and the success that the American Falls BPA chapter has had all year. On to Nationals!! 🏆
