FBLA inducts officer team

The Oconto Falls High School FBLA Chapter on May 5 held its annual end of the year banquet to recognize members for their achievements and to induct officers for 2014-2015. As part of the induction process, current officers lit candles and handed them to the officers who would take their positions. Each candle was a different color, symbolizing the unique characteristics and responsibilities of each officer position. This candle-lighting ceremony is a widespread FBLA practice. The 2014-2015 Oconto Falls FBLA officer team is Liz Coopman, president; Brittany Russell, vice president; Bailey Wolf, secretary; Liza Leja, treasurer; Corrina Romandine, reporter; Mikaela Thomson, promotions chair; Alexa Barribeau, events coordinator; Holly Virtues, fundraising chair; Matthew VerVelde, technology coordinator; and Madison Helmle, historian/photographer. The 2013-14 officer team is Hunter Reed, president; Kaili Kuczynski, vice president; Virtues, secretary; Leja, treasurer; Russell, reporter; Thomson, promotions chair; Liz Coopman, events coordinator; Sabrina Brasier, fundraising chair; VerVelde, technology coordinator; and Brooke LaCount, historian/photographer. Advisers are Tracy Tate and Star Malczewski.
