As a sophomore, she was elected to her state position and attended Institute for Leaders and the national conference in Anaheim, California.
Being known as the "mom" of the state officer team, Madison is always ready to network with new people, devise reasonable plans, and fix any problem that may arise. She is excited for the upcoming opportunities that await her as an FBLA state officer. Outside of FBLA, Madison can be found babysitting, constructing the school yearbook, working at the ballpark, attending church events, or organizing project details. Needless to say, she enjoys staying busy, especially through her involvements in FBLA. |

Outside of FBLA, Delaney is involved in numerous activities, including playing for her high school's varsity volleyball team, the tennis team, Tiger Radio, Student Council, English Honorarium, VOLS (volunteer work), Sub-Debs, and working at a local boutique.
