Dear Illinois FBLA Members and Advisers,
Hello! My name is Eeshan Garr, and I serve as this year’s Illinois FBLA State President. It is a pleasure to be welcoming you to the 2020-2021 Illinois FBLA year on behalf of the Illinois FBLA State Officer Team. Our team is committed to maintaining the same level and energy and passion that Illinois FBLA has held in the past and carry it into the year ahead of us, and we could not be more excited to help members and advisers all across the state!
The Illinois FBLA State Officer Team began the year by attending the Illinois Coordinating Council for Career and Technical Student Organizations (ICCCTSO), virtually. At the conference, our team got to learn topics on how to be a great team member, interact with members, and how other Career and Technical Student Organization's work. Our team will take the skills that we learned at this year's conference and will be applying it to this year's 2020-2021 FBLA year. Our team learned a lot about how to conduct meetings, communications, and conferences virtually, and we hope to apply those same skills to our FBLA year, for the time being, and help chapters and members do the same.
Following ICCCTSO, our team welcomed several FBLA members across Illinois to join us for the Summer Leadership Workshop (SLW), virtually. Ms. Patty Hendrickson, Certified Speaking Professional, joined our members and the Illinois FBLA State Officer Team to teach us how to make an impact in our communities and inspire us to continue to develop and build our local, area, and state chapters through a variety of activities that allowed chapters and members to bond together and exchange ideas for the upcoming year.
After ICCCTSO, SLW, and allowing our minds to absorb all that we had learned over that past couple of weeks, the Illinois FBLA State Officer Team met to develop our Program of Work (POW). Our team spent hours revising, analyzing, and developing the POW to fit the needs of the FBLA year and we are excited about working with you to make this year the best year ever despite the current situation. Our team is here for you, and we are committed to making an impact across Illinois FBLA this year.
Although our current situation is not what anyone expected, Illinois FBLA wholeheartedly believes that we can make this year the same as year’s past. We have learned a lot over the past couple of months and have developed a POW that allows our team to work with members shoulder-to-shoulder to continue to keep the same energy and passion across Illinois. Illinois FBLA, I look forward to working with you and making this year the best one yet!
Sincerely,
Eeshan Garr
Illinois FBLA State President
