Fisher places at FBLA nationals
CHADRON – Chadron State College student Mekenna Fisher of Hershey, Nebraska, placed in the top 10 in two categories at the national Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) conference May 31-June 2 in Dallas. She placed second in Impromptu Speaking and eighth in Job Interview.
Abigail Russell of Hay Springs, Nebraska, competed in Principles of Finance but experienced computer issues and did not finish in the top 10.
Dr. Nic Fisher, an assistant business professor and adviser for FBLA, said he was impressed with the CSC students.
Mekenna Fisher, no relation to Nic Fisher, will graduate in May 2026. She said it was an honor to compete alongside so many other talented college students.
“I'm very thankful for the experience and for the feedback that will let me improve the skills I'll need in a professional setting,” she said.
She plans to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to earn a master's in animal science and would like to continue public speaking and advocating for the agriculture industry.
Nic Fisher said he and Dr. Gary Dusek, who are chapter advisers, plan for the students to focus on service and fundraising during the 2025-26 year. Fisher said CSC students have had a lot of success at the national level in the past few years, and he hopes several will qualify for nationals again next year.
