District 8 Officers
Hello District 8 FBLA! My name is Sai Rithvik Vemuri, and I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to introduce myself to you all! I am currently an active member of my chapter at Freedom High School, and graduate as part of the Class of 2027. I am involved in every aspect of the chapter, both as a support system for other FBLA members, and as someone who engages new members, increasing participation in the chapter and finding new ways to help create a better experience for everyone. I like to provide emphasis on networking and building connection within FBLA, to create a sense of community within my chapter. I also have a passion for soccer, political science, and working on projects related to entrepreneurship and leadership development. FBLA has provided me with many opportunities and skills these past 6 years that I am thankful for, and I look forward to sharing those insights with you all in the future.

Hi My name is Nivri Sangaraju. I am a junior at Alonso IB High School in Tampa. I am a competitive swimmer and love meeting new people and trying new things. One of my favorite things about FBLA is all the memories and friends that I have made along the way as well as the personal growth I have seen in myself over these past few years that I have been a member.
