Being the president of the Campus Business Professionals is the first step in what Cindy Do hopes is a fruitful future in the business world.
“I do want to major in Accounting in college and possibly minor in International Business,” Do said. “I want to open up my own business in the future that would align with my interests in art and create an inclusive workplace where everyone can feel empowered. I would like to have enough income to be financially free and retire my parents.”
Not only does Do learn about business while being president, she also grown as a person.
“I have always been interested in improving my leadership and problem-solving skills, so when I heard about BPA through my brother, it sounded like the best way for me to do so while learning more about the business world,” Do said. “I got into BPA by showing an interest in learning more about business and wanting to get the opportunity to compete among my peers and learn things that are not taught in school.”
The responsibilities that Do has are both short-term and long-term. Some of the tasks that need to be accomplished are weekly, while others are more yearly.
“My responsibilities as the president of Business Professionals of America include keeping track of what events everyone is doing for state competitions and ensuring they will be ready to compete at that time,” Do said. “I also represent the members and ensure that our goals and missions are achieved when we graduate. A typical week would include planning and organizing when members can get together and talk about the events and figure out future fundraiser projects.”
