Co-Vice President/Co-Fundraising Chair: Margaret Brown
Greetings FBLA! I'm Margaret Brown, and I am a senior. My passion for business and FBLA began when I enrolled in Intro to Business my freshman year. I loved the content and lessons I learned from Mrs. Fanara-Mauro, as well as the fun activities our class shared. Becoming a part of FBLA was the best decision of my high school career; not only has it allowed me to meet new people, but it has provided me with some of my favorite memories. Attending SLC with my friends and placing for Nationals is an experience I'll never forget! The reason I became co-Vice President and co-Fundraising Chair was so I could give these experiences to others as well as share the joy of FBLA. I look forward to having a great year with you all!

Looking forward to a great year with everyone!

State Vice President: District 12: Ryan Chou
Hi District 12, my name is Ryan Chou, and I'll be your 2021-2022 State Vice President. After the dumpster fire caused by COVID, I'm happy to still be involved in FBLA and can't wait to see what we can put out this year.
Joining FBLA in 2018 at Williamsville East was a new experience for me. I was an awkward freshman, and I didn't come off as someone who could lead or organize anything. A few years later, I'm a rising senior and I can say that FBLA has helped me build up these skills by exposing me to working with and meeting new people on projects, meetings, and activities.
