President’sMESSAGE
President’s Welcome!
Getting the most from FBLA
By Sam Kessler
Hello everyone, I’m Sam Kessler, your
national president; and on behalf of
the entire FBLA national officer team,
I’m excited to welcome you to the new
membership year.
In order to get the most out of FBLA,
or out of anything for that matter, we
need to actively seek out challenges.
With FBLA specifically, the benefits of
an active membership in this organization reach far beyond what you’d
traditionally expect from a schoolsponsored activity.
In addition to the exciting competition highlighted by the recent National
Leadership Conference, we have the
unique opportunity at FBLA meetings,
activities, and upcoming conferences
such as the NFLCs to learn from the
firsthand experiences of business
professionals.
The mission of FBLA is two-fold: It
teaches us business and professional
skills for our future—giving us presentday opportunities to travel and to meet
new people—while helping our communities and developing skills that will
benefit us now and for our future.
When I first joined FBLA, I had no way
of predicting the impact it would have
on my life. Not only have I gained leadership and business skills, but I’ve also
made some of my best friends who I’ll
keep in contact with long after I leave
Ice Breaker Activities
I encourage all of you to Step Up to the
Challenge this year by taking advantage of the many opportunities to meet
new people, participate in national
programs, gain new leadership skills,
and, of course, have some fun!
Sam Kessler
Sam Kessler, a senior at Wissahickon High
School, has held several positions in his local
and state chapters.
Below you will find creative activities you can use to
energize members and help establish new relationships with
one another.
At the conclusion, each participant should introduce his or her
partner to the group, mentioning something interesting he or
she learned during the interview.
Autograph: In this networking activity, the leader creates a
sheet that contains fifteen to twenty different items, such as
“plays the violin” or “has traveled internationally”. Each person
receives a worksheet and finds people who fill the criteria to
sign the paper. A good rule to go by is that no one can sign
each sheet more than once. By doing this, people will have to
move around and meet a bigger group of individuals.
M&M Game: Pass a bowl of M&Ms around the group and
instruct everyone to take as many as they like. After everyone
has gotten a chance to reach into the bowl, tell them that for
each M&M they took, they need to tell the group something
interesting that pertains to them. One variation of this game is
to color code specific questions. For instance, for every red
M&M, have them state one event they have competed in for
FBLA, and for every blue M&M, one FBLA conference they’ve
attended, and so on.
Interviews: Participants partner up with one other person
and conduct interviews with each other. The leader facilitating
should suggest questions such as “how long have you been
involved with FBLA?” or “what events you are competing in?”

high school. I know many of you have
had a similar experience with FBLA,
and that is what makes it so special.
The opportunities offered by this organization are universal in that each and
every one of us has the opportunity to
take advantage of them.

Up to the Challenge
FBLA-PBL is a lifetime journey
By Beau Cobb
My name is Beau Cobb, and I am
currently serving as the Phi Beta
Lambda (PBL) national president. PBL
is the college division of FBLA. For
those of you that attended the NLC in
Nashville, make sure to take that passion and enthusiasm back to your local
chapters! Last year was a recordbreaking year, and I am confident that
we will see many more successes during the 2014–15 year.
I hope that you are ready to Step Up to
the Challenge this year. Just like you,
I was a member of FBLA. I grew up in
a small rural town, and FBLA gave me
the opportunity to network and compete with the best students across the
nation.
THE
My connection to FBLA started when I
joined FBLA-Middle Level. I continued
my journey with FBLA in high school
and then joined the Professional
Division while working in my first job.
And then I joined PBL after enrolling in
college.
PBL gives FBLA members the opportunity to continue your journey in our
association while you’re enrolled in a
postsecondary institution. During my
PBL journey, I have had the opportunity
to take what I’ve learned in the
classroom and apply it in real life.
I’ve demonstrated marketing,
accounting, and management skills
during my time in PBL. I’ve also had a
ton of fun and made even more connections.
Whether this is your first year in FBLA
or your senior year, remember you are
a part of something that lasts a lifetime. If you have any questions about
PBL or just want to talk, please feel
free to reach out to me at pblpres@
fbla.org.
Beau Cobb
Beau, a senior at Johnson & Wales University,
serves as PBL national president. Beau has
been a member of all four divisions and is in
his tenth year as a FBLA-PBL member.

OfficerNOTES
Preparing a Local Chapter
Progam of Work & Plan of Action
By Annika Mulaney
A program of work is a written layout of the goals a chapter
plans to accomplish during the year. Developing a program
of work may initially seem like a daunting task, but it is actually a very effective way to carry out your chapter goals.
Begin a local chapter plan of action with a meeting of your
chapter officers. As a team, look over the FBLA-PBL goals,
mission, and creed. Brainstorm activities your chapter can
undertake that align with the FBLA-PBL goals. Think about
goals that cover community service, fundraising, public
relations, professional development, and membership
recruitment. Make a list of about three to six broad goals,
depending on the size of your chapter, and write down subpoints under each broad goal. These subpoints should have
specific programs you can implement or activities you can
do that relate to the main goal. For example, under the goal
“fundraising,” your specific tasks could be to contact local
businesses, host a school bake sale, and participate in a
car wash. Beside each task, write down a completion date.
This schedule will help you get your goals done on time and
determine whether they are realistic or not.
When you have completed your program of work, evaluate it
with your chapter adviser to ensure your plan is feasible and
achievable by your chapter’s members. Delegate responsibilities in the program to each chapter officer and review
the program of work every month to keep track of your
chapter’s accomplishments. Remember, it’s better to have
attainable, simple goals than unrealistic ones. That being
said, don’t be afraid to be ambitious! Check out the sample
project activities and links below if you need ideas. Best of
luck in the upcoming year as we Step Up to the Challenge.

Planning the First
Local Chapter Meeting
By Hiral Patel
Local chapter meetings are a time when members can get
together to discuss ideas, plan events, and make decisions.
As the new school year inches closer it is time for chapters
across the nation to start planning their first meeting. At
the first meeting new members come to learn more about
our organization and returning members look for ways to
increase their involvement.
The first local chapter meeting is very important to get
everyone excited for what the year has in store. Well-planned
meetings are the base of every successful chapter because
they spur interest and participation. Here are a few tips to
facilitate your planning:
• Welcome from local chapter officers
• Icebreaker
• Discuss the benefits of joining FBLA-PBL (use one of the
many slideshows or videos found at the E-Learning Center to
enhance your presentation: http://tinyurl.com/p9ugy9g)
• Brainstorm ideas and events that the chapter can take on
during the school year and appoint committees to work on
planning and implementing the ideas
• Membership sign-up & collect dues
• Set and announce a future meeting place and time
Good luck and start planning for your first local chapter
meeting today!
• Hold an officer meeting before the general meeting for
preparation purposes
