Help Union BPA Senior Go To Nationals

Posted Date: 03/29/2023

 Maliiq Powell is a 19-year-old senior at Union High School in Tulsa, OK. He's an active member of the National Organization, Business Professionals of America (BPA). In March, he competed in the BPA State Leadership Conference showcasing his abilities in the Interview Skills category. Through pre-submittal rounds, as well as in-person judge performance, he won 1st Place in the category competing against other High School and Tech Center students across Oklahoma. Winning the category allowed him to qualify and advance to compete at the BPA National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, California. This opportunity can help him advance in his efforts to work in the Communications profession in the future. He is raising money to be able to afford his trip across the country. Maliiq's objective in collecting the money for the cost of his expenses such as his plane ticket, lodging, dining, and emergency funds. Competing and demonstrating his unique personality through this professional experience would be an honor to him. Please consider donating here by Thursday, March 30.
