Happy New Year, and welcome to 2009! It seems like forever….almost like a year has gone by since we’ve spoken! (I apologize for my weak attempt at humor). It seems this time of year the most popular thing to do is make some “New Year’s Resolutions” to help turn over a new leaf, or reach a goal that you’ve always had.
What about setting some FBLA New Year’s Resolutions? What would that look like? Well, we have 3 big conferences coming up…how about setting a goal to win at some of them? That’s always a goal, but maybe put “Spend ____amount of time each day on my competition so that I can secure a win at RSC, SBLC, NLC.” The best ways to prep for those oh-so-important competitions can be found here: http://www.oregonfbla.org/PDF/Idea%20Hot%20Sheet-%20Competition%20Preparation.pdf

What bout becoming more involved in FBLA at a state level? “Run for a State Office” is also a very noble goal. Here’s how to get started. First with the Recruitment Packet (it’s going to answer some of your more basic questions) http://www.oregonfbla.org/PDF/Recruitment%20Packet,%202008-2009.pdf
Then with the Candidate Handbook (It’s how you’re going to apply…) http://www.oregonfbla.org/cami.asp?page=7371
These are just some suggestions to give your FBLA year a little push. You never know, you may just wind up making 2009 the best year (FBLA or otherwise) the best year yet!
