Conferences
Conferences are meetings of FBLA officers and members, where competitions and workshops are held. Our chapter attends five a year.
Competitions
Competitors in FBLA will either give a presentation, make a speech, prepare a report, or take a test. Members are strongly encouraged to compete in one of these events. There are three levels for competitions: area, state, and national. At the area conference, a member can compete in two different events. For state, only the top two or three finishers move on to Nationals to compete against the top FBLA members.
Northern Area Conference
The Northern Area Conference is the first conference of the three competitive conferences. At this conference the chapters from this region can attend. The competition is held on one day, and this year it will be held at Warren on Saturday January 21. In addition to competing, members can attend workshops.
