Members of the Conrad FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) traveled to Billings recently to participate in the State Leadership Conference.
Thirteen students competed in workshops, proficiency and STAR events while at the conference.
One highlight of the conference was the election and installation of Jason Silvernale as the 2007-08 State Treasurer for the organization.
Presently, Silvernale is serving as the District I President. As a state officer, he is part of the state team that will plan next year’s conference and serve in a leadership capacity across the state. He will be representing Montana at the National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, Calif., in July.
