I encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to meet new people, attend workshops, share what exciting events take place in other chapters, and most of all have fun! Don’t be afraid to talk to current state offi cers and all of the candidates running for the 2006-07 state offi ces.

It has been my pleasure to serve the members of our organization for the past year. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I have met so many new people who have made lasting impressions.

Congratulations for being a member of such a strong student organization. This year we have once again reached new heights, and I thank each one of you for your commitment to this organization. Good luck at your competitive events and please enjoy the conference.

FBLA members have an excellent reputation. Delegate conduct at every FBLA function should make a positive contribution to the reputation that has been established. Listed below are conduct rules for every FBLA function. The term “delegate” shall be any person attending any FBLA function. 1. All delegates shall behave in a courteous and respectful manner, refraining from language and actions that might bring discredit upon themselves, their school or upon FBLA. 2.

55th State Leadership Conference 11 FOCUS TRAINING UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL

By doing this, you will be able to overcome any challenge that you may face as a leader in FBLA.

You will have four key skills to concentrate on during these sessions.

1. Professionalism 2. Effective Communication 3. Teamwork 4. Vision With each session you attend, you will improve your leadership skills and get one step closer to being able to “Unlock Your Potential.” Not only will you be a more effective leader but you will be making your FBLA chapter stronger and im- proving its chances to succeed.
