    State President

    Sophie Sun is a senior at Dulaney High School in Baltimore County and is thrilled to see what the 2016-2017 year will bring.

She hopes to convey the message that choice is significant: you choose whether or not you’re persistent. You choose whether or not you’re dedicated. You choose whether or not you’re confident. She is eager to continue the legacy of leadership with Maryland FBLA and to make this year’s FBLA remarkable!
