CHAMPION CHAPTER

Champion Chapter is a series of membership engagement-focused challenges that chapters may complete for national recognition. By completing activities, chapters accrue points. Completing activities across four sections (to accrue points) will result in Champion Chapter recognition, with a banner for the adviser’s classroom/meeting space or school award case. Additional incentives such as ribbons at conferences, national recognition in publications, and plaques are available.

Champion Chapter is open to all active chapters.

  1. Please save your documentation for the activities that you choose to participate in on a shared drive, flash drive, or folder on your hard drive as you complete each activity.
  2. Once you have completed all your activities, please complete the submission form and upload your documentation.
  3. Submission forms are live, but local advisers will not receive log in instructions to FBLA Connect until August 15, as forms are directly tied to each local chapter record.
  4. Only local chapter advisers or chapter presidents will be able to access and submit entry forms.
  5. Each entry will only be submitted once.
