Dear FBLA Members,
As we are well into the 2017-2018 school year, The Future Business Leaders of America at Lincoln High School are working hard for yet another successful year. Since the end of last year, the executive board and our advisors have been working together planning for this year. At the start of the year we made a list of things we wanted to achieve, participation being the first priority on our list. As leaders of our chapter we found it important to get people involved in order to increase our general membership. We also made it a priority this year to better the communication with our general membership. With these two goals in mind we plan to have a successful year ahead of us.
As President of Lincoln’s Future Business Leaders of America Chapter I have many responsibilities as the leader to create a productive and hard working organization. Despite being President, all of my tasks and all the great work accomplished could not be done without the help of my executive board. Our executive board is constantly working hard to better our chapter. We come together every other week to go over our goals and what we need to get done. As a board we made our main goal for this year to increase participation. Due to our efforts we are proud to say that we have a total of one hundred and seven members. Between the guidance from our advisors and the active participation of our members the Future Business Leaders of America at Lincoln High School has had many accomplishments so far in the school year, and will continue to work hard in order to achieve success!
This year we have the most participation Lincoln High School’s FBLA Chapter has ever had. With hundred and seven members we make it a priority to make sure everyone is an active and engaged member. There are many things members can participate in throughout the course of the year. During the holiday season our chapter values giving back to our community. Every year our chapter participates in the giving tree where we give generous donations to those in need. This year we also started a coat drive to donate to those who will be needing warm jackets for the winter. Aside from giving back to the community our chapter has many upcoming events in store this year. A popular upcoming event we have is the annual FBLA fashion show. This is where members have the chance to model and help organize a great event which raises lots of money for our chapter. The event always has a great turnout and we are excited for yet another successful show. This year our chapter is hosting our first ever Golf Tournament at Kirkbrae Country Club. Both these events are a great way to not only raise money for our chapter but to bring our membership together for fun events.
Every year our Lincoln Chapter continues to strive and improve due to our active membership. With our outstanding participation from our members we hope to have yet another successful year.
Sincerely,
Kate Swanson FBLA President
