Last year, we witnessed members become their very best through dynamic conferences, engaging workshops, and competitions that pushed them to their limits and allowed for the nation’s 250,000+ members to Ignite Innovation. As we begin a new year, commit to take advantage of everything FBLA offers. Our innovative conferences, competitive events, projects, and networking opportunities will help determine your route to success and make you a shining example of Excellence in Action. The journey starts soon THE with the 2013 National Fall Leadership Conferences in Dallas/Fort Worth (Grapevine), Cleveland, and Salt Lake City. Local chapter leaders will be given the tools to navigate the year and ensure success. As the year progresses, be sure to actively recruit potential members and encourage participation in our national membership campaigns—there is no better way to watch our membership numbers grow! Existing members need not be ignored; it’s important to continue to shape them into the future of our nation! Prepare now for competitive events. They will kick off at your Regional/ District and State Leadership Conferences, testing your knowledge and setting the stage for the 2014 National Leadership Conference in Nashville! There, the best-of-the-best will gather to compete, network, and showcase their talents. I wish you the best of luck for another successful year. On behalf of the 2013–14 national officer team, I hope your hard work drives you toward accomplishing your goals. I look forward to seeing our membership grow and our existing members develop into the business leaders of tomorrow. The steering wheel is in our hands; let’s make this a year to remember! Cole Simmons is the FBLA national president. When he isn’t serving the members, you can probably find him watching Netflix and drinking green tea. INNOVATION CENTER Help Shape the Future of FBLA-PBL! The FBLA-PBL National Center wants to hear from you! Have a great idea you want to share? Members and advisers can now submit, vote, and promote their ideas at The Innovation Center, and then check back to monitor the progress of their ideas. www.fbla-pbl.org/ideas 2 Tomorrow’s Business Leader PBLCorner Putting Excellence in Action Creating a Program of Work By Beau Cobb Success does not come to those who do not pursue it. In order to achieve, individuals and organizations must learn to set the stage for things to go their way. –Anthony Vultaggio goal from each of the four categories. It’s that time of the year Keep the following three Rs in mind again—the national officer teams have set their annual when goal-setting: membership goals through REALISTIC—Set realistic, tangible their programs of work. And goals for your chapter. you can, too! Laying this solid foundation can help RESPONSIBLE—Ensure each ofevery chapter put Excellence ficer shares a portion of responsibility for the overall mission. in Action! INTRODUCTIONS An effective program of work begins with getting to know your local officers with a fun ice breaker and planting the FBLA-PBL vision. Over the year, it will be important for your chapter to stay on track with the vision and mission of FBLA-PBL. If you’re not working toward your goals, you’re working away from them. CHAPTER CHALLENGES Now the real fun begins—developing chapter challenges! Challenges help your team strive for excellence all year. The national officers separate their goals into four divisions: customer service, relationships, image and awareness, and resources. Before your first meeting, ask each officer to bring one REWARDING—Set rewards for reached goals. Remember, it’s better to do a few things well, than have a lot of goals that accomplish little! GOALS When discussing your goals, ask yourself the following questions such as, “Why are we doing this?” and “What is the purpose?” Analyze your chapter’s current situation and prepare for obstacles throughout the year. There’s no such thing as a dumb idea, so think outside the box! After your team sets goals, it’s time to detail the action steps and set deadlines. Many deadlines may not be flexible, so discuss each date with your team and advisers to determine which ones can be modified. EVALUATION Congratulations, you’ve written a program of work! But there is still one more step—the most important step: evaluation. Once you complete this document, review it each month to ensure your chapter is on track. If changes need to be made, consult your adviser and team for necessary modifications. At the end of the year, evaluate your successes before you pass your program of work to the incoming officer team, and then go out and celebrate your Excellence in Action! Questions? Need help with your program of work? Email Beau Cobb at [email protected]. Beau Cobb is the Phi Beta Lambda National Secretary. When he isn't writing minutes and agendas, he is traveling, gulping down a chai tea latte, or looking for an adventure! Summer 2013 3 OfficerNotes advance, in order to collect and submit membership dues to the national office on time. 2 The chapter president should create a meeting agenda in advance, so meet with chapter officers a few days ahead of time to plan it. Design your agenda to encourage attendees to try out competitions, watch a recruitment video, and listen to testimonials from returning members. It is also important to provide several opportunities for prospective members to ask questions. Start Right By Adam Nissinoff A s the saying goes, your first impression is your last impres- sion, so it’s important to start right! A well-executed meeting helps foster success. By following four simple steps, you can ensure your first chapter meeting is memorable. 1N . ADVERTISE o one will attend your meeting unless they know the logistics: where is it held? Who should attend? This is especially important for the first chapter meeting, since many students are not yet familiar with FBLA. The more ways you advertise, the better the meeting’s attendance. Hang posters around your school and distribute flyers to potential members. Take advantage of your school’s PA or television system to broadcast meeting information. And don’t forget about social media! Create a Facebook event, tweet meeting reminders, and share the promotional membership video (go.fbla.org/promovideo). Finally, ask business teachers to promote your FBLA meeting to their students. When planning the meeting date, keep FBLA’s membership deadline (October 20) in mind, and schedule your meeting several weeks in 4 Tomorrow’s Business Leader . CREATE AN AGENDA 3 . MEETING DAY Officers should arrive early on meeting day to greet members and gather basic contact information, such as email addresses and phone numbers. Stay organized by collecting this data on index cards or preprinted forms. Use this information to alert members to future meetings. Not every student checks email regularly, so don’t rely solely on digital mediums. Distribute flyers, at a later date, to members who were unable to attend the meeting. Plan for a lively experience! Your goal is to engage students so they are excited to join FBLA. Provide hands-on activities that incorporate audience participation and teamwork. Also, it never hurts to offer food! Being able to purchase two slices of pizza and a soda for only $1.50 was a deciding factor to attend my first chapter meeting! 4 Sample Meeting Agenda FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS OF AMERICA Chapter Name Agenda Date of Meeting Year 1. Call to order 2. Introduction of officers and adviser 3. Icebreaker activity 4. Reports of officers and/or returning members 5. FBLA recruitment video (visit go.fbla.org/promovideo) 6. Discussion of competitions and conferences on the local, state, and national levels 7. Discussion of membership dues and date/location of next meeting 8. Adjournment . THE FOLLOW-UP The recruitment process doesn’t end once the meeting is over. In fact, following up with members is one of the most important recruitment tools. Send members a brief email and/ or text message that thanks them for their attendance and reminds them of future meetings. By following these steps, you can organize a memorable meeting that convinces prospective members to embark upon an FBLA journey! Adam Nissinoff is the FBLA National Parliamentarian. When he’s not working on FBLA activities, Adam enjoys sipping iced coffee with his dog Benny by his side. Family, travel, and a challenging game of Scrabble are highly regarded by Adam. OfficerNotes A Super Start with Super Sweeps By Natalie Tran M embers buzz with excitement after an FBLA conference. The energy from the National Leadership Conference (NLC) is so infectious it leads to a little-known condition called PostConference Depression (PCD). The best way to combat PCD is to not let the excitement die. Instead, channel it toward growing your chapter! Last year, September Sweeps—a membership recruitment and retention program—was introduced to FBLA and was wildly successful. This year, your national officer team revamped the program—now called Super Sweeps—to be a part of the Chapter Challenge. Chapter Challenge features the following three components: • • Super Sweeps (Aug. 1–Oct. 20) focuses on membership recruitment and retention. Nonstop November (Nov.1–Dec. 10) focuses on member involvement. • Action Awareness (Jan. 15–Mar. 1) focuses on CTSO awareness. Your chapter does not need to complete all three challenges to participate. When they complete one or more of the challenges, they will receive ribbons at both the NFLC and NLC. If your chapter completes all of the challenges, members will receive a special pin at the 2014 NLC in Nashville. Super Sweeps will help your local chapter recruit and retain members, as well as gain recognition! Once your adviser registers your chapter, your chapter will need to complete four required activities and six additional activities. All of the activities correlate to FBLAPBL goals, to facilitate recruitment and retention, and to help your chapter grow! Super Sweeps will help you get a super start on the year as you make your journey toward the 2014 NLC in Nashville. Chapter Challenge and other FBLA programs, such as Business Achievement Awards (BAAs) and Go Green, serve as great opportunities to help both members and chapters get recognition. Visit fbla-pbl.org for more information, or contact your national officer team. Not only is Super Sweeps a great way to increase membership, it’s also a great way to increase involvement within your chapter. Creating a membership committee is a creative way to get others involved and to reach out to as many students as possible. So remember: get a super start by registering for Super Sweeps today!
