Get the Edge! Run for a State Office!

Last week, as you may well remember there was a ‘Calendar of Events’. Sorry, but I forgot one very important tidbit of information on there….March 3 along with being the date for all of your SBLC competitive things in, it is also the day your State Officer application is due!

What’s that? You weren’t really thinking of running this year? To prove that you have what it takes to “Get the Edge” and run for a State Office, please answer these questions.

1- Am I a leader?
2- Do I LOVE FBLA?
3- Can I make a positive difference in Oregon FBLA?
4- Do I have my Future award?
5- Am I going to State?
6- Am I currently a junior or younger?
7- Am I prepared to give my best on a daily basis?
8- Am I ready for a Life Changing experience?

If you answered ‘yes’ to these questions, then you should definitely be thinking about a state office bid. It’s a lot of work, but I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Please understand when I say that it’s truly a life changing experience that I would recommend to all FBLA members. Even if after the campaign you do not emerge victorious, the skills and the confidence you gain from running a campaign force you to grow as a person and a leader.

Please speak with your adviser about this, and as always, if you have any questions or are contemplating a run, please give me a call or send me an email so we can chat. It would be a privilege to help you in any way I can.

As always- keep in touch!
