Bridgewater, New Jersey – A group of talented students from Bridgewater-Raritan High School recently showcased their skills and creativity at the 2025 FBLA National Leadership Conference in sunny Anaheim, California. The excitement was palpable as the team of 28 young leaders participated in this prestigious event held from June 27 to July 3.
These enthusiastic students are members of the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) club, where they’ve been honing their skills in business, leadership, and collaboration. Their hard work and dedication paid off as they qualified for the national conference through their impressive performances at regional and state competitions. Qualifying for such a big event is no simple task; it requires grit, determination, and a flair for business.
With the support of their FBLA Co-Advisors, Keriann Fry and Mike Bittner, the students set off on this unforgettable journey, surrounded by over 15,000 other members from across the country. Can you imagine the energy in a crowded convention center filled with aspiring business leaders? It must have been electrifying!
Among the many competitions, a few students truly stood out with their exceptional performances, taking home accolades that highlighted their hard work and dedication. Natalie Chen secured an impressive 3rd place in Business Law, while Vedaang Verma also captured 3rd place, but in Data Analysis. Likewise, Vrishank Madishetty made waves with his 4th place finish in Intro to Programming.

While the students were there primarily for business, the trip also included plenty of fun! A unique highlight was the pin trading activity, where students swapped pins representing their home states and territories. This engaging experience not only encouraged camaraderie but also allowed students to connect with peers from across the nation. Imagine trading pins while chatting about your respective schools, hobbies, and aspirations—what a cool way to build friendships!
