We are pleased to announce that Alexandria Duran from Eastern Arizona College has been appointed to fill the vacant State Secretary position. As a former FBLA state officer, she has demonstrated tremendous experience both as a leader and as a dedicated contributor to FBLA-PBL.

New State Secretary
PBL Membership is the Key
Posted on October 1, 2009 in National PBL
Greetings members and advisers,
The national officer team would like to thank all of you for your hard work and dedication in the beginning of the year. We still have a long way to go to reach our membership goal of 13,000. The first cut-off date for membership registration and dues is October 20. Please encourage your officers and chapters to register all the members and submit the dues as early as possible. A new “National Top 10 Chapters” award will be updated weekly on the FBLA-PBL national website to recognize the 10 largest PBL chapters every week. Also, keep in mind that the largest chapters will be recognized at the NFLCs. Therefore, please get your dues in early and you may see your school on the honor list!
Meanwhile, the National Fall Leadership Conferences are just around the corner. Register now for one of the NFLCs and save by taking advantage of the NFLC early bird registration and hotel reservation rates. Your national officers are looking forward to seeing you and your members in Baltimore, Denver and Orlando. Early bird registration is through October 10 for Baltimore, October 17 for Denver, and October 24 for Orlando. A lot of exciting workshops, keynote speakers, networking opportunities, and fun time await you!
Your national officer team is here to help in any possible way to ensure that your chapter is having a productive year. As Vince Lombardi once said “perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” With continuous hard work and dedication, we can certainly take PBL to another great level. Keep up the work and keep us posted on your chapter news!
Geoffrey Long
PBL National Secretary
