FBLA is an international organization. It has leadership teams at each of the following levels:
Five regions of the US - we are the Eastern Region (Eastern Region includes all foreign nations)
Each state - New York State FBLA
15 Districts - we are in District 3N
Local Chapters - John Jay HS
Students who wish to run for District or State leadership positions must complete a rigorous pre-election process that includes an application, resume, cover letter, chapter advisor recommendation, and interview by a state board member before December 15. After passing this application process, the member is allowed to campaign at the State Competition in April for the following school year. If the candidate is successful in winning the election, s/he will be installed on stage at the state conference. Newly elected officers are REQUIRED to meet for a week in July to create the NYS Program of Work. Officers must rent official FBLA uniforms, but their hotel and registration fees for state and national competitions are waived for the year they are in office. Interested students should speak to the chapter advisors as early in the school year as possible.
