Harmin Patel

State Secretary

Hello Illinois FBLA! My name is Harmin Patel and I am very honored and excited to be serving as your 2025-2026 Illinois State Secretary! I’m currently a senior at Dunlap High School and have been part of FBLA since my freshman year. Ever since I joined, I loved getting to meet new people across the area, state, and national levels. I was amazed by the many opportunities that FBLA has to offer and how it has shaped me into the person I am today. FBLA has taught me many valuable business and life lessons that I’ll keep with me for the rest of my life. I will forever be grateful to FBLA for the great impact it has had on me and all the unforgettable memories that I have made. Outside of FBLA, you can find me spending time with family and friends, playing tennis, drinking cookies ‘n cream milkshakes, or watching the next blockbuster movie. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and I can’t wait for the fantastic year ahead of us!
