History Of The FBLA-PBL National Fall Leadership Conference

Alpha Epsilon Delta, an organization that had just became an official chapter at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith had to begin somewhere. From the time of its conception I was highly involved in the organization. I was voted president after serving on the inaugural executive team as treasurer. Newly formed organizations tend to dwindle without the correct guidance and leadership. I was determined not to let that happen to an organization with such ambitious causes diminish. I was able to reform and drastically develop the organization by using perseverance and problem-solving skills. We went from having one speaker during my term as treasurer to a having an invited speaker every month when I became president. I solved the problems from

Youth leadership and development is a huge part of agriculture education. It is one of the many things that FFA is known for. Leadership is important in all career areas and should be a part of every student’s education. As a teacher, I will strive to integrate leadership development in all of my classes.

First published in 1987, The Leadership Challenge is a guide for becoming leader. The book received many awards and its above two million copies are internationally sold. The book teaches principles of leadership that apply whether the leader is running a sports team or a fortune 500 organization. The book includes stories and examples of many leaders from micro to macro level (Founders and Authors, 2013). The basic leadership principles can be adopted by anyone to challenge status quo and increase leader productivity multifold. The book tells about the flow and hierarchy of values too (Machedo, 2013). One can use the guide without an instructor to develop leadership traits.

Babe Ruth said, "It's hard to beat a person who never gives up." A dedicated, determined worker and leader is what brings projects to completion. The quality, first-class work elevates projects. This comes from knowledgeable people who understand clients and their vision while using their own experience and creativity to make dreams come true.

I want to become a Bank of America student leader I want to be a good leader but also a true leader, which is a leader that leads by example. In able to help my community and to encourage fellow students like myself, I have to set the foundation and example for them. By participating in the Student Leaders program, I can learn to become a better person, but more importantly, a better leader.

With this program, I think that it can provide me with an even more clarity about my goals and aspirations.

FBLA is a very important organization to Otterville High School. We have 67 members out of the 77 kids in the High School. FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America. They are divided into schools, districts, states, then countries. We have schools from all of the United State like Puerto Rico, Florida, California, New York, and even some people come from China. All of these schools come and meet at the National FBLA Conference (NLC) in the determined city. Some of the activities that are included Executive Leadership Conference (ELC) , National Fall Leadership Conference (NFLC), District Leadership Conference (DLC), State Leadership Conference (SLC) and National Leadership Conference (NLC). All these conferences you attend have workshops, opening sessions, closing sessions, and some of them even have dances. The question everyone want to know is what can you gain from FBLA? You can earn scholarships, new experiences, and it always looks nice on a job application when you were involved in a business organization. The Missouri FBLA is actually pretty amazing. They are always there to help you when you need to know whether you can compete in something or not.

I’m proud to be a Summit Charter Collegiate Academy, SCCA, bear. When I first enrolled at SCCA as a freshman, the school was nothing but a small, dull institution that focused on academics and nothing else. There were no sports teams, clubs, or school activities. The public viewed the school as a failure and assumed that it was no place for students to grow and experience what high school is like, but SCCA is nothing like the things people say it is. It may be different from the rest of the high schools in Porterville, California, but SCCA is very unique and is genuinely determined to prepare students for the real world. I aspired to do all that I could to make SCCA a better high school, so I joined my school's leadership team, also known as ASB, during my freshman year. Since the moment I joined ASB, I fell in love with the purpose of the organization. I loved to help out the school, and I loved planning events and activities that helped create a better high school experience for all of the students.

On October 2nd the members of Lakeland FBLA attended the Fall District Meeting hosted at Mamaroneck High School. The Fall District Meeting is held each fall and FBLA members within the district.

The keynote speaker at this year’s Fall District Meeting was Laurence Mackler, who owns an international solar power company. Mackler gave an inspiring speech about if you follow your passions and what makes you happy you will be destined for greatness.

One of the first club's I walked past was the UMD Club Basketball booth. I've been involved in the game of basketball for most of my life. Being able to have an opportunity to continue playing past high-school is amazing, and I can totally envision myself joining it. I can bring my knowledge of the game of basketball along with my experience to the team, and their goal of winning.

While many of my peers stressed and sighed over having to complete this assignment, I looked forward to it. During this activity, I was able to experience first hand how diverse our campus is, I was able to tour the college, and most importantly, this activity required me to step out of my comfort zone and further strengthen my ability to interact with others. I took advantage of the resources available and participated in all of the workshops, events, and presentations I had the opportunity to. In brief, all events I attended were beneficial, yet by far, my favorite, and the most memorable, was Cookies and Current Events. Attending this event allowed me to have a better look at what is happening in the world around me. It allowed me to see different issues and events, issues many, including myself, due to busy lifestyle and hectic schedule, didn’t even realize are occurring. Completing my G.P.S requirement enabled me to become a more diverse person, it was influential to the utmost extent. I truly enjoyed attending the events and being able to experience everything Florida SouthWestern State College has to
