Northwood Tech Students Place At National Competition For The Business Professionals Of America

Northwood Tech students kicked off the start of May with an impressive finish at the 2022 Business Professionals of America (BPA) National Conference held in Dallas, TX.

The Northwood Tech students and their BPA Adviser, Brenda Kretzschmar, attended the national competition whose theme was “Go Beyond Your Limits” which the students certainly embodied as they competed.

Northwood Tech students SonnYa Glinski, Matthew Hoff, Barbara Koch, and Kelly Sigsworth represented three out of the four Northwood Tech campuses competing at the national level after their placements at the state level advanced them to nationals.

The 2022 BPA National Leadership Conference proved to be successful for the group from Northwood Tech as a whole. Below are the placement results for the four BPA students, as well as the Northwood Tech campus that they represent:

  • SonnYa Glinski (Rice Lake Campus): Contemporary Issues, 3rd place; and Ethics and Professionalism, 8th place
