Dear Illinois FBLA Members and Advisers,
As your State President, it is my pleasure to bring greetings on behalf of the entire state officer team! Our team has already been hard at work, preparing for our eventful year ahead. I feel very confident in this team of student leaders and I have no doubt that we will accomplish all of the goals set forth in the Program of Work, as well as exceed those previously set in place in past years.
The state officer team’s first order of business this year was attending the ICCCTSO Leadership Conference. We had the opportunity to meet up with student leaders from Illinois’ other Career Technical Student Organizations, sharing ideas and providing insight on how to make this the best year imaginable for you: the outstanding members of our organization. It is of our highest importance that you acquire the skills necessary for your future success, all while making great friendships and unforgettable experiences. At this conference, we learned how to serve you to our full potential through leadership development, team building, and personal growth.
Following, the State Executive Council met for our first FBLA-PBL State Officer Meeting, where the Board of Directors met to plan the upcoming year, while the State Officer Team met to develop our Program of Work. We have a very ambitious group of leaders who are determined to make this year full of progression and growth. We are hoping to increase membership at all divisions, while fundraising and supporting the March of Dimes Foundation at an entirely new level.
After a very productive meeting, Illinois FBLA welcomed hundreds of members at our annual Summer Leadership Workshop in Springfield. At this energizing leadership workshop, members from all over the state had the opportunity to network with fellow FBLA members, participate in mock chapters, and plan a fun-filled Program of Work for the year ahead. It was truly a remarkable workshop where leadership skills were enhanced and friendships were formed.
Overall, our state officer team is excited to serve you, as we aim to create new opportunities for your future success, while we lead with passion to inspire the future leaders of our nation. If you ever need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out to any member of the state officer team; we would be delighted to help. I can’t wait to see you all this upcoming year, as we CREATE, LEAD, and INSPIRE!
Best Wishes,
Gatlin Miller
