FBLA Week 2022

Hello FBLA members and advisers!

We are so excited to present a new FBLA Week that will strengthen our FBLA community. Given these past two years, we have developed and understand a new meaning and importance of community. No barriers are large enough to prevent us from uniting with one another.

The goal of this new FBLA Week is to connect chapter members with one another and foster connections. FBLA is about competition, collaboration, and community, and FBLA Week is a great vessel to promote this spirit. For FBLA Week 2022, we will focus on connections, creativity and unity. We hope you take advantage of these opportunities to further your relationships and leadership experiences.

Get ready for FBLA Week by Advocate for your Future.  View the webinar recording here (passcode: vh*7^0b? ) and the toolkit here.  These resources will help you interact with your legislators to schedule appointments to talk about the value of CTE and what FBLA has done for you or help you develop a proclamation for FBLA Week.
