The Peabody-Burns chapter of Business Professionals of America hosted a regional competition Jan. 25, to qualify members for state competition.

The PBHS group is the only chapter that participates in their regional, therefore all chapter members qualified to compete in the state competition.

The state event will be in Wichita on Feb. 16 and 17.

Students used the regional competition as a tune-up, giving new members a chance to learn more about their events and giving seasoned members a refresher course.

Peabody-Burns students will compete in many areas related to business, from individual tests to group presentations. Any members that place in the state competition will qualify for nationals, which are being held this year in Chicago, Ill.
