GREENVILLE — The Region 3, Business Professionals of America (BPA) Regional Awards Presentation took place Monday, at St. Clair Memorial Hall.

The presentation recognized the top winners from the Regional Competition that took place at Miami Valley Career Technology Center, January 23. BPA is the Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for students pursuing careers in business management, office administration, information technology and other related career fields. The state association, consists of 19 regions located throughout Ohio. Region 3 consists of: Greenville, Franklin Monroe, Milton Union, Mississinawa Valley, Valley View, Wayne and Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC).

The award presenter was MVCTC Electives, Business, Information Technology, and Agriculture Supervisor David Peltz. Jim Buchy, former member of the Ohio House of Representatives, was guest speaker. He passed on advice to the young students, that were in the principals of humility, hard work, team work and integrity.

“We need men and women who are honest to the core, whose word is good,” Buchy said. “When you say “yes,” that means “yes;”when you say “no,” you can’t do it. If you adopt that, I guarantee you will go a long way in your careers.”

Greenville High School’s (GHS) Career-Tech Supply Chain Management Teacher Dara Buchy said Greenville has 17 Regional winners moving onto the state championship, in March. The hope is to make it to nationals, the first week in May, she said.

“These kids work so hard for weeks and weeks,” she said. “They did it. And they may not have done it to the point that they won, but the fact that they completed it, is just a feeling, as an educator, you can’t give to a student without being part of a career-tech student organization.”

GHS Career-Tech Senior Hunter Bradburn is in Nathan Sharpe’s Computer Information Systems class. He received first place in the Regional “Computer Security” contest, on a Cyber Security test.

“It is about how we prevent third party access, which is a human interruption,” he said. “It prevents people from getting access to personal information.”

Greenville Career-Tech Financial Specialist Program teacher Margie Heitkamp said most of the students were well prepared for the Regional competition, but the snow days may have had an impact.

“They are super excited to be here today, and to see the results,” she said.

Mississinawa Valley MVCTC Satellite Business teacher Tammy Drew brought about 24 students to receive results. She participated in a similar competition in high school, and had a good time going onto state and national competitions.

“I think it is a really good experience for the students to see how they excel in business,” she said.

MVCTC Computer Network Engineering Instructor John Underwood had 25 Regional award recipients, with 13 going to the state competition.

“Competing puts the rubber to the road,” he said. “A lot of students are just passed on from grade to grade to grade, and filling their brains with the knowledge. Competition gives the students a chance to prove that they are better. It gives them a chance to prove that they have learned, and that’s pretty awesome.”
