Investing in Young Leadership: Supporting Yatzibeth's Journey with FBLA
Dear Webster County Family,
On behalf of Webster County High School’s first FBLA state officer, I am writing to you today with great excitement and a request for your support. Yatzibeth Mejia-Lopez, a sophomore, has the incredible honor of serving as the Southwest Region State Vice President for the Georgia Future Business Leaders of America. This is a significant accomplishment, not only for her personally, but also for our FBLA chapter at Webster County High School. She is not only the first student from our school to hold this prestigious position at the state level but also the first member from Webster County High School to hold a region office, Region 6 President.
As a state officer, she is committed to leading and inspiring her fellow FBLA members across Georgia. Throughout the year, she will be attending mandatory conferences, workshops, and training sessions, representing our state chapter and participating in activities that promote business education, leadership development, and career exploration for all students. These events will take place throughout Georgia and potentially across the country, and her estimated travel expenses from April 2024 to July 2025 are approximately $13,000.
While our dedicated FBLA chapter at Webster County High School will be holding fundraising events, these efforts alone may not be enough to cover the entirety of these expenses. This is where your generous support comes in.
A contribution to aid this young leader would be greatly appreciated and will directly contribute to her ability to fulfill her responsibilities as a state FBLA officer. Your investment will not only support her personal growth and leadership development, but it will also empower her to serve and inspire other students across Georgia.
Through FBLA, she has gained invaluable skills in communication, teamwork, and public speaking. She is passionate about helping others discover their potential and believe that FBLA provides a platform for students to develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to read our letter. For any questions or additional information, you can reach me at mbaker@webster.k12.ga.us.
