(VEVAY, Ind.) – Switzerland County’s Business Professionals of America (BPA) students have qualified for a national conference. 

There are 22 students who will attend the National Leadership Conference in Orlando from May 7-11.

The 22 Pacers will be among 6,000 students from across the nation who will attend the conference in Orlando.
