October 2009 Letter from your President
I hope you all have had a terrific summer! It is now time to get excited for another incredible year for Pennsylvania FBLA. This year is sure to be packed full of countless opportunities that we can all take advantage of!
This year’s national slogan is “Simply the Best” and PA FBLA showed just with its great success at the National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, CA this summer! Pennsylvania brought home a record “smashing” 66 individual, team, chapter and state awards, eclipsing our previous record of 54! With over 300 members, advisers and guests attending we definitely made a huge impression. Congratulations to all our winners, and thank you for making PA FBLA proud!
In the upcoming year, there are multiple ways that you can get involved and learn how to become “Simply the Best!” I encourage each of you to participate in a competitive event this year. Once again, there will be some changes with the competitive event program, and I hope each of you will step up to the challenge! In addition, there are many goals and plans of work that your state officer team has set to help continue the PA FBLA tradition of excellence! Our state project this year, Habitat for Humanity, has many opportunities for monetary and community service donations, and I implore each one of you to check into the many activities and events available to you!
In addition to the opportunities available through Habitat for Humanity, it is my goal to be able to keep in touch with each and every member of PA FBLA through the use of a member email list. I hope you will assist me in this venture by registering your email address with PA FBLA. This can either be done by emailing me directly or by keeping an eye out for the information on how you can get your email address registered online.
Finally, to further enhance your 2009-10 PA FBLA year, I hope you will attend the conferences and workshops available to you! Get your other chapter members involved as well at your respective RLW and RLC. Also, don’t forget about the SLW in State College in October, and the NFLC in Baltimore in November! Make the most of this upcoming year! I can assure you, your time spent participating in FBLA activities, with other members from across your region, the state, and the nation will not disappoint you!
Best of luck in the year ahead! I know you will demonstrate how you are “Simply the Best!”
Sincerely,
Zach Gosling
