54th State Leadership Conference 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Welcome to the 54th annual Pennsylvania FBLA State Leadership Conference.

This end-of-year event is considered by many to be the highlight of the FBLA school year. You are all very lucky to be among a select group who has earned the privilege to represent your school and your region. Through hard work, dedication, and perseverance, you are now eligible to compete for the chance to represent Pennsylvania and this tremendous organization at the national level this summer in Orlando, Florida.

Good luck to everyone competing in the vast number of events offered this year at the SLC. Also, best of luck to those of you who are running for a state ofﬁ ce. The state ofﬁ cer experience is one you will never forget. Although it is hard work, the rewards from the experience and the people whose paths you cross will forever have a permanent impact on your future.

I want to thank you, the members of PA FBLA, for giving me the opportunity to serve as your state president. I have made many new friends and learned many new lessons. I have enjoyed working with all of you on “our road to success.”

Although success in competitive events is an important part of PA, I have learned there is so much more out there for ALL members of FBLA. Please be sure to attend the numerous workshops, participate in open competitive events, and visit the many exhibits during the SLC. Also, please stop by the campaign booths to meet our potential state ofﬁ cers.

On behalf of this year’s state ofﬁ cer team, I would like to express our gratitude for your dedication to PA FBLA. I hope that this conference serves as a positive experience for all of you as we cross the ﬁ nish line together.

Sincerely,

Raul Patel PA FBLA State President

As a student fi nishes a test, he or she will turn in the test to the test administrators and will then be required to leave the room. e.

If a student wishes to take another test, he or she must leave the room and go to the back of the line to await entry. Students may take as many different tests in the 2 1⁄2 hour period as they can schedule, but they must leave the room each time and go to the back of the line. h. All testing will be stopped and papers collected promptly at 2:30 p.m., regardless of how much or how little time a student has had to work on the test he/she has in his/her possession.

54th State Leadership Conference 11 FOCUS TRAINING ROAD TO YOUR SUCCESS

The “Road to Your Success” is ﬁ lled with twists, turns, tough choices, and the occasional pothole! Achievement takes hard work, planning, the ability to work with others, and to manage challenges along the way. These workshop tracks, presented by FOCUS Training, will teach FBLA leaders the skills required to navigate the many paths that lead to personal and organizational success!

You will have four “paths” to follow while you are here. In all that we talk about, in every session, you should remember that you are developing one of the following four skills. You will travel the:

Teamwork Path Effective Communication Path Vision Development Path Professionalism Path

With each session you attend, you will improve your leadership skills and get one step closer to reaching your deﬁ nition of success. Not only will you be a more effective leader, you will be making your FBLA chapter stronger and improving its chances to succeed.

Below are leadership path activities that will give participants an opportunity to develop a wide array of leadership skills. Each is a unique, stand alone session, but will also relate to the others. Following the suggested path will accelerate your leadership skills and put you on the “Road to Your Success.” If your focus is Teamwork, follow PATH A; Effective Communication, follow PATH B; Vision Development, follow PATH C; or Professionalism, follow PATH D.
