Three Goals You Would Like to Accomplish
Increase Membership- It's important to grow our member community. More members mean more ideas and more fun!
Enhance Communication- I'd work on improving how we share information. Good communication is key to any successful team.
Community Service- I'd love to see us give back to our community as a whole. It's a great way to make a positive impact and bring awareness of our organization!
Three Goals You Would Like to Accomplish
My first goal would be to create stronger partnerships within local business in communities where FBLA chapters are located. This could help promote the opportunities for internships and youth co-ops in business related fields.
Secondly, I think it is important to create citizenship among local chapters. This is a great opportunity to do group service work as well as stand out in the community where the chapters exist. This is a great opportunity to meet like minded individuals.
Lastly, I believe that a stronger bond between high school and middle school FBLA programs could benefit the FBLA organization. This could later drastically increase membership in the high school program and provide opportunities for peer mentorship and build excitement for the program.
How Can the High School Division Offer a Differentiated Experience?
I think we should add leveled testing. For example, if a kid reads and writes at a 5th grade level and a kid who is gifted and talented, they can compete for the same thing, just different tests to match their level.
How Can the High School Division Offer a Differentiated Experience?
I believe that the high school division can offer a differentiated experience by offering a simulation within school that depicts what an FBLA competition would look like. This can make people who are apprehensive about going to their Regional Leadership Conference feel more comfortable with the material presented. There could also be a way that examples for presentation competitions from topics that are no longer used be posted online as a resource for those who need additional clarification on what an FBLA presentation competition looks like.
How Can the High School Division Expand Membership Outreach?
I think we should create more community events to get more people involved and do some sort of social media reach like podcasts or videos explaining what FBLA is and how fun it can be. Also, hold meet and greet sessions with officers in person after a leadership conference or similar so the people can get more of an understanding of FBLA and what the officers do to help and grow FBLA. Lastly, do more with career paths to connect a little more outside of FBLA to help make it grow.
How Can the High School Division Expand Membership Outreach?
I believe that the key to increasing membership starts with the lower grade levels in school. I think that high school FBLA and middle school FBLA within a school district should be related. This provides an opportunity for high schoolers to mentor middle school students as well as middle school students to see how high school can offer so many more opportunities for them as they progress through the organization. This will ultimately lead to a larger portion of members in FBLA as well as members who have been in FBLA for a longer period of time.
How Can We Improve Capacity and Capabilities to Lead as a CTSO?
I feel that we can improve and prepare as leaders through things like having training through their title/position. I also think job shadows would be a good thing to think about and off of what they want to do and this could also be what their job role in FBLA could be.
How Can We Improve Capacity and Capabilities to Lead as a CTSO?
I believe that by highlighting the many ways interpersonal skills, teamwork, and goal setting are used within the FBLA organization; this could make FBLA stand out amongst other CTSOs. By doing this, others would also be intrigued on how FBLA can bring all of these skills into their lives. By highlighting these attributes that FBLA brings to your resume, increased membership, and a better reputation can be achieved.
