The Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College (NEO) chapter of the business organization Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) travelled to the Oklahoma Phi Beta Lambda State Leadership Conference in Oklahoma City in April. At the event, NEO PBL qualified eleven students in eighteen different categories for the National Leadership Conference this June in Baltimore, Md. “I am very proud of our students’ accomplishments,” said Pat Creech, Business and Technology Department Chair. “NEO continues to produce students who excel in every area.”

NEO earned ten first-place finishes, nine second-place finishes, and five third-place finishes. All students who placed in the top three of their events qualified for the National Convention. Along with several individual awards, NEO earned second place for the Local Chapter Annual Business Report and first for having the highest percentage of membership attending the conference.
