Winners from the 19th Annual Emerging Leaders Business Competiton

 

On December 1st, 2022 the Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce hosted their 19th  Annual Emerging Leaders Competition virtually. Sponsored by St. Josephs College, the Chamber hosted sixteen high schools with over two hundred & sixty-five students participating.

This unique competition was developed to challenge students to think beyond the scope of the classroom and gives them the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and capabilities in a business environment. Students are presented thirteen categories to participate in at the beginning of the school year and work diligently to present their solutions to our volunteer judges who work in various professions. Over the years, the event has grown to be a true island-wide competition & provides an opportunity to build on many of the programs that exist at the local high schools & fills a gap for those schools that don’t have a business-related club like Young Leaders & DECA.

This event would not be possible with our sponsors. Their dedication to the community is unmatched and we are so grateful for their support.
