Greetings
Welcome back Region 3! I
hope you all are ready to get
back to business. Good luck
to all chapters and let’s have
another great year of success.
Professionalism has two very
important components; it’s not
only the way you dress but the
way you act as well. FBLA
prides itself in being
professional and following the
rules. We, as Future Business
Leaders of America, should
carry ourselves with finesse
and pride. We represent FBLA
and we should show the best
representation possible.

Greetings fellow FBLA members. My name is
Savannah and I am your Region 3 president! I am
currently a senior at Henry County High School and
have been an active member in FBLA since my
freshman year of high school. Throughout the past
four years, I have had many memorable experiences
meeting new people at FBLA events. However, I
would have to say that my fondest FBLA memory
was at State competition when everyone would ride
the elevators for fun, Socializing with many new
people. Even though, my time with FBLA is soon to
end I hope to continue my FBLA ties as I hope to
attend Kentucky or Cincinnati to become a nurse.

Welcome back FBLA! My name is Joey Kenny and
this is my first year serving as the parliamentarian for
Region 3! I am now a senior at Henry County High
School. I have been an active member of FBLA for
three years. Along with FBLA I have been an active
member in NHS, Beta, as well pep club and great
outdoors club. However, FBLA holds one of my
fondest moments of attending state Conference and
placing for Parliamentary Procedures last year. Even
though some of my fondest memories are with
FBLA, I am looking forward to attending University of
Kentucky.

plan to study so that I may become a doctor.
Activities I enjoy are working at a law office and

Hello Future Business Leaders! I am your Region 3 treasurer. I am
a senior at Bullitt Central High School and have been involved in
FBLA since my freshman year. I became a member of FBLA
because I knew it would prepare me for the future. My favorite
memory of FBLA was becoming a local chapter officer. Aside from
FBLA, I am also a member of Pep Club, NHS, teen court, HHS,
culture club, FCA, and student government association. My plans
for college are to attend either EKU, WKU, or the University of
Kentucky to major in international business.
Izajah Armstrong—Reporter
Greetings Future Business Leaders! I am your Region 3 reporter. I am
currently a senior at Moore Traditional and have been involved in FBLA
since my sophomore year. I became a member of FBLA because of my
interest in the leadership opportunities that FBLA has to offer. While my
time in FBLA has been very rewarding, my best FBLA memory would
have to be becoming Regional Reporter. Aside from FBLA, I am also a
member of the Men of Quality mentoring program. Activities I
participate in are: basketball, football, baseball, track, and soccer for my
school. Upon graduation, I plan to attend the University of Kentucky or
EKU to major in business marketing in hopes of one day starting a
business of my own.
