- Review materials received from the FBLA-PBL state office and/or national office.
- Plan an organizational meeting. Elect officers (president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, historian, etc.). Appoint temporary committees-bylaws and membership-to complete the prerequisites for chartering/reactivating.
- Review the sample bylaws provided in the new chapter organization packet before writing the local chapter bylaws. (New bylaws are not required-but strongly suggested-for reactivated chapters.)
- Submit the following items to the FBLA-PBL state chairman at the above address:
- a. New chapter/reactivation application including list of members and newly elected officers.
- b. Copy of local chapter bylaws (optional for reactivated chapters).
- c. Check for charter fee or reactivation fee ($20) along with national dues (FBLA Middle Level - $4 per member; FBLA - $6 per member; PBL - $10 per member) and state dues (FBLA Middle Level - $2 per member; FBLA - $4 per member; PBL - $6 per member) combined, made payable to FBLA-PBL, Inc.
- Plan an installation ceremony. Present the chapter charter and membership cards received from the national office. (Charters will not be sent to reactivated chapters.)
- Participate in state and national events.
