Allison Railsback, Mankato senior majoring in agriculture education at Fort Hays State University, placed first in all five events in which she competed at the recent Kansas Phi Beta Lambda State Leadership Conference in El Dorado.
Railsback competed in business decision making (team), administrative technology, desktop publishing, small business management plan, and future business executive. She qualified to attend the National Leadership Conference this summer in San Antonio.
Railsback was also recognized as a Kansas PBL Who’s Who recipient and for completing her term as the state communications officer.
“Being able to connect with some of the best and brightest members of our state association is my favorite component of these conferences,” said Railsback. “This year I had the opportunity to hear from business leaders, and visiting with our national president, Corbin Robinson, was also a highlight.”
