4 President smessage President s Welcome! Getting the most from FBLA By Sam Kessler Hello everyone, I m Sam Kessler, your national president; and on behalf of the entire FBLA national officer team, I m excited to welcome you to the new membership year. In order to get the most out of FBLA, or out of anything for that matter, we need to actively seek out challenges. With FBLA specifically, the benefits of an active membership in this organization reach far beyond what you d traditionally expect from a schoolsponsored activity. In addition to the exciting competition highlighted by the recent National Leadership Conference, we have the unique opportunity at FBLA meetings, Ice Breaker Activities Below you will find creative activities you can use to energize members and help establish new relationships with one another. activities, and upcoming conferences such as the NFLCs to learn from the firsthand experiences of business professionals. The mission of FBLA is two-fold: It teaches us business and professional skills for our future giving us presentday opportunities to travel and to meet new people while helping our communities and developing skills that will benefit us now and for our future. When I first joined FBLA, I had no way of predicting the impact it would have on my life. Not only have I gained leadership and business skills, but I ve also made some of my best friends who I ll keep in contact with long after I leave high school. I know many of you have had a similar experience with FBLA, and that is what makes it so special. The opportunities offered by this organization are universal in that each and every one of us has the opportunity to take advantage of them. I encourage all of you to Step Up to the Challenge this year by taking advantage of the many opportunities to meet new people, participate in national programs, gain new leadership skills, and, of course, have some fun! Sam Kessler Sam Kessler, a senior at Wissahickon High School, has held several positions in his local and state chapters. At the conclusion, each participant should introduce his or her partner to the group, mentioning something interesting he or she learned during the interview. Autograph: In this networking activity, the leader creates a sheet that contains fifteen to twenty different items, such as plays the violin or has traveled internationally. Each person receives a worksheet and finds people who fill the criteria to sign the paper. A good rule to go by is that no one can sign each sheet more than once. By doing this, people will have to move around and meet a bigger group of individuals. Interviews: Participants partner up with one other person and conduct interviews with each other. The leader facilitating should suggest questions such as how long have you been involved with FBLA? or what events you are competing in? M&M Game: Pass a bowl of M&Ms around the group and instruct everyone to take as many as they like. After everyone has gotten a chance to reach into the bowl, tell them that for each M&M they took, they need to tell the group something interesting that pertains to them. One variation of this game is to color code specific questions. For instance, for every red M&M, have them state one event they have competed in for FBLA, and for every blue M&M, one FBLA conference they ve attended, and so on. Using these icebreakers, you ll not only bring your members together, you ll Step Up to the Challenge this upcoming year. 2 2Tomorrow s Business Leader

5 PBLCORNER Up to the Challenge FBLA-PBL is a lifetime journey By Beau Cobb My name is Beau Cobb, and I am currently serving as the Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) national president. PBL is the college division of FBLA. For those of you that attended the NLC in Nashville, make sure to take that passion and enthusiasm back to your local chapters! Last year was a recordbreaking year, and I am confident that we will see many more successes during the year. I hope that you are ready to Step Up to the Challenge this year. Just like you, I was a member of FBLA. I grew up in a small rural town, and FBLA gave me the opportunity to network and compete with the best students across the nation. My connection to FBLA started when I joined FBLA-Middle Level. I continued my journey with FBLA in high school and then joined the Professional Division while working in my first job. And then I joined PBL after enrolling in college. PBL gives FBLA members the opportunity to continue your journey in our association while you re enrolled in a postsecondary institution. During my PBL journey, I have had the opportunity to take what I ve learned in the classroom and apply it in real life. I ve demonstrated marketing, accounting, and management skills during my time in PBL. I ve also had a ton of fun and made even more connections. Whether this is your first year in FBLA or your senior year, remember you are a part of something that lasts a lifetime. If you have any questions about PBL or just want to talk, please feel free to reach out to me at pblpres@ fbla.org. Beau Cobb Beau, a senior at Johnson & Wales University, serves as PBL national president. Beau has been a member of all four divisions and is in his tenth year as a FBLA-PBL member.

6 OfficerNOTES Preparing a Local Chapter Progam of Work & Plan of Action By Annika Mulaney A program of work is a written layout of the goals a chapter plans to accomplish during the year. Developing a program of work may initially seem like a daunting task, but it is actually a very effective way to carry out your chapter goals. Begin a local chapter plan of action with a meeting of your chapter officers. As a team, look over the FBLA-PBL goals, mission, and creed. Brainstorm activities your chapter can undertake that align with the FBLA-PBL goals. Think about goals that cover community service, fundraising, public relations, professional development, and membership recruitment. Make a list of about three to six broad goals, depending on the size of your chapter, and write down subpoints under each broad goal. These subpoints should have specific programs you can implement or activities you can do that relate to the main goal. For example, under the goal fundraising, your specific tasks could be to contact local businesses, host a school bake sale, and participate in a car wash. Beside each task, write down a completion date. This schedule will help you get your goals done on time and determine whether they are realistic or not. When you have completed your program of work, evaluate it with your chapter adviser to ensure your plan is feasible and achievable by your chapter s members. Delegate responsibilities in the program to each chapter officer and review the program of work every month to keep track of your chapter s accomplishments. Remember, it s better to have attainable, simple goals than unrealistic ones. That being said, don t be afraid to be ambitious! Check out the sample project activities and links below if you need ideas. Best of luck in the upcoming year as we Step Up to the Challenge. July: Create a schedule for the upcoming year (see tinyurl.com/kdkzn93) August: Plan a membership recruitment schedule to use when school starts (see September: Host a chapter ice cream social to invite students to join FBLA October: Compile competitive event study materials and distribute them to members (see November: Participate in the Non Stop November program by completing five March of Dimes and American Enterprise Day tasks (see December: Contact at least five local businesses for sponsorships January: Target a local community service project and ask FBLA members to be volunteers (could apply to Community Service Awards, see February: Contact a successful local businessperson and ask him or her to speak at the next chapter meeting March: Host a Middle Level day and meet with a middle school chapter to share ideas and opportunities April: Sponsor a walk-a-thon to raise money for the March of Dimes (see May: Aim for 100% student participation in the Business Achievement Awards (see June: Hold a chapter officer training to help newly elected officers begin their terms Annika Mulaney Annika is a three-term state officer and currently serves as the Florida State Secretary. She has held five district and chapter offices, and placed nationally in competitive events. 4 Tomorrow s Business Leader

7 OfficerNOTES Planning the First Local Chapter Meeting By Hiral Patel Local chapter meetings are a time when members can get together to discuss ideas, plan events, and make decisions. As the new school year inches closer it is time for chapters across the nation to start planning their first meeting. At the first meeting new members come to learn more about our organization and returning members look for ways to increase their involvement. The first local chapter meeting is very important to get everyone excited for what the year has in store. Well-planned meetings are the base of every successful chapter because they spur interest and participation. Here are a few tips to facilitate your planning: Welcome from local chapter officers Icebreaker Discuss the benefits of joining FBLA-PBL (use one of the many slideshows or videos found at the E-Learning Center to enhance your presentation: Brainstorm ideas and events that the chapter can take on during the school year and appoint committees to work on planning and implementing the ideas Membership sign-up & collect dues Set and announce a future meeting place and time Good luck and start planning for your first local chapter meeting today! Hold an officer meeting before the general meeting for preparation purposes Post flyers and make announcements around the school to create a buzz around the upcoming meeting Make available a sign-in sheet where members can provide their name and contact information Ensure that all members receive equal speaking and participation time during the meeting Be sure to supply adequate time for the meeting One of the most crucial factors of a meeting is an agenda. An agenda provides guidance and helps keep the meeting in order so that business is conducted in an organized manner. Some items that can be included in the agenda of the first local chapter meeting are as follows: Hiral Patel Hiral has held offices at the state and regional levels and is looking forward to making an impact at the national level.
