McNary hosting FBLA regionals
By DEREK WILEY
Of the Keizertimes
McNary High School se-
nior Suni Payne didn’t en-
tirely know what she was
getting into when she joined
FBLA (Future Business Lead-
ers of America) two and half
years ago.
“I’ve always wanted to be
an entrepreneur and when
picking our schedules, I
wanted to get involved in the
business programs here and
honestly I didn’t know what
this (FBLA) was when I start-
ed,” she said.
But Payne, who wants to
one day own her own bak-
ery, quickly got involved and
joined the offi cer team at
McNary. Last spring she was
then voted vice president of
the Willamette Valley region-
al at the Oregon FBLA State
Conference in Portland.
“I enjoy leading people,”
Payne said. “I like doing this
type of stuff. I thought it was
a really good fi t for me. Being
a state offi cer this year, I’ve
defi nitely grown as a public
speaker. I love speaking in
front of people now. FBLA
offers so many opportuni-
ties, connecting with business
owners outside of school and
in our community.”

McNary FBLA offi cers Samuel Hernandea, Suni Payne. Raeleen Daniel, Samantha Van Voorhis,
Abby Smith and Kolby Barker are leading the high school’s efforts to host the Willamette Valley
Regional Skills Conference on Saturday, Feb. 11.
Brad Lomax, a McNary
business teacher and the
club’s advisor, has seen Payne
mature through her work
with FBLA.
“She’s a perfect example
of a student getting involved
in an after school program
and being immersed in it
and taking responsibility for
it and growing as a person,”
Lomax said.

As a VP, Payne and Mc-
Nary will host seven other
high schools (McKay, North
Salem, West Albany, Central,
Silverton, Stayton and Ken-
nedy) in the Willamette Val-
ley FBLA Regional Skills
Conference on Saturday, Feb.
11.
More than 160 students
will compete in events like
accounting, banking and fi -
nancial systems, entrepre-
neurship and public speak-
ing through role playing case
studies and online tests. When
not competing, students will
also have the opportunity to
participate in workshops put
on by businesses leaders in
the community.
The regional conference is
practice for state, which this
year takes place April 6-8 in
Portland. How a student per-
forms at regionals does not
determine whether they go
to state.
“The main goal of this is
to get instruction and help
from the judges because this
is in preparation for state so
any feedback on how they
can increase their perfor-
mance, I think that’s the key
to this entire event and the
reason for doing it,” said Mc-
Nary FBLA President Samu-
el Hernandea.
McNary has 64 students
in FBLA, the largest per-
centage of any school in its
region. The club meets each
Wednesday after school.
Kolby Barker, McNary’s
vice president of public rela-
tions, is working on getting
local business people to judge
the events.
“I joined (FBLA)so I could
get some kind of business ex-
perience before going into
college and then my career
after that,” Barker said. “I just
think it’s a really great oppor-
tunity to get a head start on
learning about business and
how a real job works. With
football, I don’t have time to
go out and get a job so this is
my alternative to that.”
The regional conference
begins with the opening cer-
emony at 8:30 a.m., followed
by competition until noon
and then lunch and awards.
“We make it a big deal (at
state) and we’re hoping to do
the same thing (at McNary),”
Lomax said. “We don’t want
to just open the doors and let
people in. We’re hoping that
people have a great experi-
ence and enjoy what they’re
doing, walk away with some
experience with business and
maybe have some goals for
later in life.”
