Julia Dykstra
Kankakee Valley High School
Hello BPA members! My name is Julia Dykstra. I go to Kankakee Valley High School and am a third year BPA member. BPA has helped me so much throughout my high school years and transformed me into a leader that freshman me would have been baffled by. I hope to return the favor to BPA by achieving a position on the State Officer Leadership Team and pushing Indiana BPA to new heights. I would be honored to receive your help to take our BPA beyond its limits. Vote Julia!

Corbin Landrey
Hamilton Heights High School
Throughout my five years of membership in this organization, I have gained extensive knowledge and success through the various aspects of Business Professionals of America, and my three years as a chapter officer has taught me effective communication, reliability, and confidence to take charge as a leader. I plan to use my experience for the benefit of Indiana Business Professionals of America by establishing a monthly Torch Award workshop, which will explain the Torch Awards program and highlight various simple activities that add up to the Ambassador Torch Award while giving participants the opportunity to complete these activities.

Abdul-Martini Olaletan

Hi, My name is Abdul-Martini and I will be running for the 2022 State Officer Leadership Team. I believe that I should be elected because I am extremely passionate about Business Professionals of America and I am happy and willing to give BPA my one hundred percent effort and dedication. I am also on the leadership team in my local chapter so I already know a little bit about being a leader in BPA. I consider myself extremely lucky to be given this opportunity to run for the 2022 SOLC. Thank you very much for your time!
