What is the State Fall Leadership Conference?
The State Fall Leadership Conference (SFLC) is a one-day event in October. During this conference, members meet other members from New Jersey as well as interact with the new officer team. Workshops include duties of officers and professional development / chapter management. You also learn about the year’s new theme. Up to 6 officers with their adviser from each local chapter may attend.
What are the NFLCs?
“Students and advisers participate in motivational general sessions and professional development and career planning workshops. For many FBLA-PBL members, the NFLCs are a convenient and affordable way to experience much of the education and excitement of an NLC.” - National FBLA Website
Regional Competitive Events
The Regional Competitive Events is a one day (per region) event at Mercer County Community College where each chapter goes one day to their regions’ event and competes for awards. This is the first step in the competitive event sequence. During the one-day event, the members are introduced to the officers from their region and they go on to compete against other competitors to try to make it in the top spots that qualify them for states.
State Leadership Conference
Each Spring, our entire state convenes onto one location for the annual State Leadership Conference, which lasts two days. This conference is jam-packed with workshops, competitions, and networking opportunities. Members have the chance to showcase their talents and hopefully earn a spot to represent our state at the National Leadership Conference.
National Leadership Conference
“FBLA-PBL members have the competitive edge, as the best and brightest of FBLA and PBL convene to compete in leadership events, share their successes, and learn new ideas about shaping their career future through workshops and exhibits. This four-day conference is considered the pinnacle of the FBLA-PBL experience, especially for those running for national office. FBLA-PBL has forged partnerships with industry leaders to underwrite competitive events and scholarships for students achieving national ranking.” – National FBLA Website
