Many states host leadership conferences throughout the year, including the fall and spring. These conferences provide valuable opportunities for student members to develop leadership skills, network with peers, and prepare for state competitions. Additionally, many states hold district or regional conferences during the school year, allowing members to gain experience before competing at the state level.
For students competing at the FBLA National Leadership Conference (NLC), all competitors must be approved and submitted through their State Leader. State Leaders serve as key resources for members and advisers, providing guidance on competitive events, state conference details, and membership support.
If you need to contact your State Leader, you can find their information by visiting your state's FBLA website. Each state manages its own conferences and competitive event registration, so reaching out to your State Leader is the best way to get accurate and up-to-date information.
