How to be a successful FBLA adviser! Service

Establish a link between the local chapter and business community.

Keep school board and administration, local businesses, community, parents, teachers, school staff, and local media informed of chapter activities.

Assist chapter officers in developing a meaningful Program of Work and a Calendar of Events for your chapter.

Remember that chapter activities are student-centered activities and not teacher-centered.

Encourage members to participate in all levels of FBLA.

Education

Keep chapter members informed of FBLA activities at the district, state, and national levels.

Be knowledgeable of educational initiatives and how FBLA fits the needs and opportunities provided by those initiatives. Communicate this information to appropriate individuals and groups.

Provide training for chapter officers. Clearly define officer responsibilities and expectations.

Establish basic ground rules and high expectations that help students lead themselves.

Be knowledgeable about FBLA, including: goals, mission, structure, conferences, deadlines, and bylaws.

Progress

Work with students and other chapter advisers at your school to ensure the accuracy of all conference registration.

Closely follow all State and National FBLA deadlines and directions. Set your chapter deadlines early to allow time for changes and corrections.

Carefully read and save all emails from the State and National FBLA offices.

Collect membership dues and forms promptly at the beginning of the year to ensure members will be able to take advantage of all the opportunities FBLA affords its members.

Oversee the keeping of records and finances for all activities.

Be committed to each student, welcome the diversity, and be a positive role model in actions and deeds.
