HAYS, Kan. – Allison Railsback, Mankato senior majoring in agriculture education at Fort Hays State University, placed first in all five events in which she competed at the recent Kansas Phi Beta Lambda State Leadership Conference in El Dorado.

Railsback competed in business decision making (team), administrative technology, desktop publishing, small business management plan, and future business executive. She qualified to attend the National Leadership Conference this summer in San Antonio. 

Railsback was also recognized as a Kansas PBL Who’s Who recipient and for completing her term as the state communications officer.
