Are you eager to unlock your potential, enhance your leadership skills, and immerse yourself in the world of business? Look no further than the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) club at East! As we kick off the new school year, we are excited to welcome new members to join us on an exciting journey filled with growth, learning, and unforgettable experiences.
FBLA, the largest career student organization in the world, has been a cornerstone of our school community. With a membership of over 200,000 students, FBLA offers a multitude of opportunities that cater to diverse interests and ambitions. Whether you are interested in honing your leadership abilities, competing in business events, boosting your resume, or forming lasting friendships, FBLA has something unique to offer to each and every one of its members.
Our FBLA chapter has grown to become the largest club at East High, and we take immense pride in that accomplishment. The success of our club is attributed to the passion and dedication of our members who actively participate in various activities and events throughout the year. As we embark on this year’s journey, we invite all students who have a passion for business, entrepreneurship, and leadership to join us and be part of our vibrant community.
One of the most exciting aspects of being an FBLA member is the opportunity to attend state and national conferences. These events provide an immersive experience where students can attend workshops, listen to inspirational speakers, and connect with like-minded individuals from all over the country. Not only do these conferences provide invaluable learning experiences, but they also offer a chance to explore new places and make lasting memories with friends.
If you want to give back to the community and participate in fundraising events, FBLA has you covered. Our renowned “Common’s Cafe” is just one of the many ways we raise funds for various causes and initiatives. Being part of such activities not only helps students make a difference, but also fosters a sense of social responsibility and teamwork.
One of the highlights of being an FBLA member is the opportunity to compete in a wide array of events designed to enhance leadership and business skills. Whether it’s a public speaking competition, a marketing challenge, or a business plan presentation, these events provide a chance for students to showcase their talents, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.
Are you ready to embark on this exciting journey with us? Joining FBLA is simple! Head over to the business office to pick up a membership application form. Complete the form and submit it by October 6th, along with a $25 check to cover state and national dues. If you have any questions or need more information, don’t hesitate to approach Mrs. Mauro in the business office or our chapter co-presidents, Nathan Wan and Lucy Wang.
For those interested in learning more about FBLA, an informational meeting will be held in late September. Keep an eye on your WITSmail for updates and details on this event. We encourage all students to attend and discover how FBLA can enrich your high school experience and pave the way for a successful future.
In conclusion, FBLA is much more than just a club; it’s a transformative experience that empowers students to reach their full potential and become future leaders in the world of business and beyond. So, seize the opportunity to be part of something extraordinary and join FBLA today! We can’t wait to welcome you to our passionate and dynamic community.
