Community professionals are needed to judge student projects and presentations at our BPA National Leadership Conference. Judging at the NLC is an exciting, rewarding opportunity and provides students with realistic expectations of the business world. The expertise and professionalism that community professionals bring to the competitive events of Business Professionals of America through services as a judge is highly valued by students and teachers.

Business Professionals of America (BPA) is a student organization whose purpose is to support middle level, high school, and college students interested in business careers. Each year, students compete at regional and state levels to demonstrate their skills in over sixty different business areas. The winners of the state contests are invited to the National Leadership Conference, where a number of the contest events are judged by local business leaders to impart a “real world” experience to the students.

Over 300 experienced professionals are needed to judge in the following business areas:

• Finance
• Business Administration
• Management Information Systems
• Digital Communication & Design
• Management, Marketing and Communication
• Health Administration

Competitive event judging opportunities include technical scoring of competitor projects (8-12 hour commitment) that can be completed remotely before the conference and/or on-site presentations review (4-5 hour commitment in Anaheim) across any of the six (6) different business area pathways.
