OUR STAFF
Jamie A. Connor
Maryland FBLA State Director Aberdeen High School
My favorite FBLA memory is when one of our state officers was elected National Secretary. The joy, excitement, and even tears our whole team shared in that moment is something I will never forget.
Outside of FBLA, I love spending time in nature—whether it’s camping, hiking, relaxing at the beach, or working in my yard and garden.
