Planning for the New York State Future Business Leaders of America District 12 Spring District Meeting is in full swing! The event is to be held on February 1, 2014 at the Bryant and Stratton Orchard Park campus. Unlike the October Fall District Meeting, the Spring District Meeting (SDM) is a competitive event and important in selecting which students will be representing District 12 in certain State Leadership Conference exams. These district elimination exams include Impromptu Speaking, Public Speaking, Basic Decision Making, Client Service, Job Interview, and Parliamentary Procedure. Other exams that will be offered are FBLA Principles and Procedures (Shubhangi Mehra, grade 10, competed and placed in top ten for this event at the National Leadership Conference) and Future Business Leader. Melissa Li (grade 11), Robin Marshall (grade 10), Ananya Nrusimha (grade 10) and Shubhangi Mehra (grade 10) are to take the State Officer Exam at the meeting in order to qualify as 2014-2015 NYS FBLA state officer candidates.
Sign-up sheets for the event are still being created and Sally Yi, the State Vice President of District 12, is to plan for the meeting in greater detail at the NYS FBLA January Joint Meeting next month. Stay tuned to the East FBLA twitter (@eastfbla), Facebook group, and website (eastfbla.wordpress.com) to make sure you will be able to attend.
