Joel Wood of the Chamber’s Economic Development team attended the event and had the honor of awarding gold stoles to the students who completed all FBLA requirements for service, education, and progress. In addition, the Chamber also provided a certificate to Lydia DeZalia who was honored as the Peru HS 2025 FBLA Business Person of the Year and Gold Medal winner. Congratulations as well to Hayden Lozier (Silver Medal recipient) and Liam Clowney (Bronze Medal recipient).In his remarks, Joel spoke to the importance of ethics in business and how the skills and hands-on experience/knowledge gained through their FBLA participation would position these students to succeed whether they were starting a business, entering the workforce, or pursuing higher education.
