What's Next?

Hello Nebraska FBLA!

Where has August gone??

 

Back to school shopping…check.

First day of school…check.

Annual FBLA Chapter Kick-off…check.

So, what’s next?  It’s time to plan for our monthly meetings! How are we encouraging all of the students that came to the kick-off to commit to FBLA?

It’s not easy.  A lot of creativity, preparation, time, and love for FBLA goes into planning a monthly meeting, or maybe you follow what has worked for your chapter in the past.  If so, that’s great! You’re able to keep consistency and still make it fun for the chapter membership.  There is so much out there that can compete with our time—work, sports, homework, family, and other just as fabulous organizations.  The time we have is valuable, and in an organization such as ours, we need to make smart choices on how we use it. 

I think about my own chapter’s upcoming monthly meeting.  At our September meeting, we have our co-chairs from each committee share about what the work on their committee entails, events coming up, and explain how members can get involved.  We usually throw in a game and end the evening with ice cream.  (The general secret is that if you have food, you have members.)

But this makes me wonder…what are other FBLA chapters doing to keep momentum within their program and continue to get FBLA-ers back each month?

The State Officers’ Blog is a place for us to share thoughts and ideas with each other.  We would love to hear what you are doing in your chapter that encourages and maintains membership.

Any thoughts or ideas? Please share!

I’m off! I’m going! I’m…
