Congratulations to all those who participated in the 2008 PBL National Leadership Conference in Atlanta. Each year college students from across the state of Utah compete against other students from across the nation. Once again Utah has faired well and took place in winning 35 awards including 15 in the top 3 and 6 first places. The students from our state become more impressive each year as they rise to the challenge that is given them. Congratulations to all those who competed and placed, especially the Who's Who recipient for Utah, Jason Wright.

The breakdown of the places by number for the state is as follows:

• 1st Place-6
• 2nd Place-3
• 3rd Place-7
• 4th Place-2
• 5th Place-1
• 6th Place-5
• 7th Place-2
• 8th Place-5
• 9th Place-1
• 10th Place-2
• General-1

I am currently in the process of capturing the video of the awards session and will have it available for viewing in the next week sometime.
