With the SLC quickly approaching, it's decision time for those considering running for Nebraska FBLA state office. If you are extremely active in your chapter and are looking to take a step up, I encourage you to run for state office!
There are six different positions to choose from: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, reporter, and parliamentarian. The president serves as the leader of the team, and also serves as the team's representative on the FBLA Board of Directors. The vice president serves as the president's right hand man/woman, is a voting delegate at the NLC, and leads the social media efforts for the state.
The secretary takes notes at meetings of the team and state association. The treasurer sends dues reminders to chapters and promotes fundraising activities. The reporter writes conference news releases and organizes the Pledge. These five offices are considered Series I offices, with two members from each chapter being able to run for those offices.
The final state office, parliamentarian, is not an elected position, but is appointed based on the results of a parliamentary procedure test and is the only position in Series II. Nebraska FBLA's parliamentarian promotes the use of parliamentary procedure in chapter meetings and makes sure all meetings follow the procedure given by Robert's Rules of order. They also serve as the second voting delegate at the NLC.
All application materials can be found at: http://nebraskafbla.org/state-officers/state-officer-informationapplication-link/required-forms/ . Application materials need to be turned into the state office by January 22, with screening day taking place on February 2. Please feel free to contact me or any of the other state officers if you have questions. A final little tip for all of you state officer candidates: start planning early! The more you get done over Christmas Break and January, the less stress you will have in March.
May be odds be ever in your favor!
