GREAT JOB TEXAS INTERNS!
MMNearly 200 of BPA’s brightest students participated in the Texas Intern Program at this year’s State Leadership Conference in Dallas, Texas. These students assisted in all aspects of the conference and went above and beyond to assist teachers, members and staff in making this conference a success.
We are currently processing the time sheets and will be verifying the service hours and forwarding a copy of them to the student and their advisor. Students who completed the program with the minimum of 3 hours of service will receive a letter and a certificate.
MM We would like to thank the Texas Interns who participated in the program this year. All of the advisors, judges and staff were very complimentary regarding your manners, professionalism and your willingness to help.
MM If you enjoyed working as a Texas Intern, we encourage you to participate in the Intern program at NLC and in the Leadership Academy.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to email Intern Coordinator Diana Weber.
