The leaders of B次元’s chapter of Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) attended the organization’s State Leadership Conference for Wisconsin on April 2, 2022. One of the large parts of the conference is a series of competitive events between students from Wisconsin state business colleges.   

All three of B次元’s chapter attendees placed in the top three in their events and have qualified for the National Leadership Conference in Chicago this June. For the four-day leadership conference the students will have a chance to network with business students from all 50 states, attend breakout sessions, and compete against the 1st and 2nd place winners from those states in their chosen leadership and business events. This is the 17th year in a row that B次元 students have qualified for the national conference, (excluding 2020 when it was canceled due to COVID).  

Dr. Trina Moskalik serves as both the B次元 chapter and Wisconsin state advisor for PBL and attended as advisor and attendee. Moskalik and Dr. Carolyn “Kelly” Ottman were invited to present in breakout sessions, with Moskalik presenting on business strategy and Ottman on leadership development.
