State Leadership Conference Day 3

The last day always starts bright and early for our voting delegates and this year our state officers as well. The business meeting (General Session II) and the advisors meeting started at 8:00am. General Session III (Awards) followed. Jonathan and Sophia did a wonderful job with all of their duties the entire conference and represented us well on stage. All of the members did their best on their competitions and most importantly learned a lot. Some of them earned the right to compete at the National Leadership Conference in Nashville, TN this summer.

1st Place (AKA State Champions) Forensic Science- Jonathan Stebbins *Note- Go back to day 2 and look at the photo of them getting ready and you will see why they nailed it.

1st Place HS Pin Design- Abby Tarrant *Her pin will be worn and traded by the HS OK TSA members who attend Nationals this summer

The top ten will be posted later.

On February 26th, we hosted the Eastern Region Conference at NEO. There were approximately 600 middle school and high school members in attendance, a new record. Regional officer elections were held as well as competitive events. We had 36 members compete between the two chapters. Victor Lopez and Elijah Lee ran for office. Unfortunately, we do not have pictures of them campaigning. It was a hectic day due mostly to the terrible weather the week before. Elijah was elected Eaten Region Reporter. Victor was elected Eaten Region President. Dominic Harter represented us well while fulfilling his role as Treasurer on the 2024-2025 officer team. While we didn't bring home as many medals as we would have liked, we did have a few place in the top 3 with their events qualifying then to go to the State Leadership Conference.
