State Leadership Conference
March 13-16, 2025
Business Professionals of America members are provided an opportunity for the development of leadership skills, personal and professional growth, and career-related competencies. Involvement in Business Professionals of America will enhance social awareness, civic responsibility, and understanding of the business community. The state leadership conference (SLC) is the highlight of the Michigan Association year, and helps more than 2,000 members accomplish these objectives.
The 53rd Annual State Leadership Conference was held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on March 13-16, 2025 at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.
The parade of presidents, workshops, state officer elections, Workplace Skills Assessment Program events, and a semi-formal dinner were the highlights of the conference. Delegates were able to meet people and make many new friends. More than 100 schools located throughout the state attended for the conference.
