Michael Cheng and Jackson Lennon, both rising seniors, competed in the group event, Global Business, and made the finals (Top 15).

The students enjoyed authentic barbecue and visited key cultural sites such as the RiverWalk and the Alamo. They also engaged in informative workshops that provided leadership skills and interview strategies. Overall, the students were happy to compete and meet new people.
On a personal note, DBHS FBLA sadly wishes farewell to Mrs. Emmons, our dedicated adviser for the past 2 years.
As for the upcoming year, Mark Tan, Vice President of Competitive Events, plans to enhance the study system for the Diamond Bar Chapter to get more students to advance and place at the national level. Already, he has organized a significant amount of resources for events like Business Calculations, Introduction to Financial Math, Global Business, Entrepreneurship, Sports and Entertainment Marketing, Computer Applications, and Personal Finance.
