About BPA Sandpoint

Business Professionals of America (BPA) is an intra-curricular Career and Technical Student Organization that gives students the opportunity to showcase their skills in areas involving Finance, Business Administration, Management Information Systems, Digital Communication & Design, Management, Marketing & Communication, and Health Administration.

We are on a mission to provide business and leadership opportunities to all Sandpoint High School BPA members. It is our goal to raise enough money so that ALL members, regardless of financial situation, will have the opportunity to compete at the national level should they qualify.

National Leadership Conference 2025

Orlando, Florida - May 7th-11th, 2025

Seven students from Sandpoint High School will compete at the national level in Orlando, Florida. With multiple awards earned at the state level, we are excited for our students to showcase their skills nationally.

Business Professionals of America (BPA) is an intra-curricular Career and Technical Student Organization that gives students the opportunity to showcase their skills in areas involving Finance, Business Administration, Management Information Systems, Digital Communication & Design, Management, Marketing & Communication, and Health Administration.

The National Leadership Conference provides students a unique opportunity to travel and experience our nation in a way that they may have never experienced before. For some, this will be their first time leaving the northwest.

Your donations will fund airfare, roundtrip transportation between airport and hotel, hotel room for 4 nights (filling the room with 4 students if possible), registration fees, as well as a tour providing local sights of the Orlando, Florida area.

Financial obligations for nationals are approximately $1,500 for each student. Your help, through donations, would be an incredible gift. Any amount will certainly be of benefit.

Thank you for your support!

"Being part of BPA has transformed my life profoundly. Through this organization, I've gained invaluable skills that will serve me throughout my lifetime. BPA has offered me opportunities to travel, build new friendships, and compete in subjects I'm passionate about. This experience has fostered my growth not only academically but personally as well. Because of BPA, I now have a clear vision for my career path and concrete steps to achieve my goals. I'm deeply grateful for the support Sandpoint BPA has received from our community. Our chapter's achievements would not be possible without your encouragement and generous donations."

"For the last three years the BPA organization has and continues to greatly impact my life and who I am. After competing and qualifying at Nationals the previous years, I was ecstatic to learn I qualified yet again. I am so grateful for the opportunities I've been given to compete thanks to the generosity of the community. This would not be possible for students like me, without the thoughtful donations the Sandpoint BPA chapter has received over the years."
