From the State President

Hello Texas FBLA!

Our entire officer team is psyched for the year! To go along with next year's SLC, which is in Corpus Christi, our theme this year is "FBLA...Your Beacon Into The Future." This theme goes harmoniously with our goals for the year, especially with our Mentoring Program. There is more information about this on the officer pages, but to get all the information, contact your local Vice President, myself, or any other officer. Another exciting goal we have is to get 4,000 members. The information below details Nationals.

In addition, the National Fall Leadership Conference is in November. And since we are in the same National Region as Colorado, which is where one of the NFLC's is being held, I believe we all should attend this one. But either way, Denver, Colorado, Orlando, Florida, or Baltimore, Maryland, I encourage each of you to attend this exciting conference. I myself will more than likely attend the Colorado NFLC, so I hope to see you there! Use this website to its full potential and let's have a good year.
