Harshal Joshi

State Vice President, Central Area

Hello Illinois FBLA! My name is Harshal Joshi, and I am so honored to be serving as your 2025–2026 Illinois FBLA State Vice President from the Central Area! I am currently a senior at Normal Community High School, where I serve on my local chapter board. The past 3 years of my FBLA journey have allowed me to compete at the state and national levels, network with new people on the area, state, and national levels, and make wonderful memories with my friends. I started out as a shy freshman attending a chapter meeting not knowing what to expect, but I am grateful to FBLA for pushing me to grow as a leader. Outside of FBLA, I am involved in TSA as the Illinois TSA State President, Co-President of Bit By Bit Computer Science Club, and Math Team. I am interested in technology and engineering, and hope to pursue a career in those fields. Outside of school, I love watching movies, baking, hanging out with my friends, and taking long naps. My favorite FBLA memory was Nationals in Orlando where I got to compete and network with members across the country. I can’t wait to serve Illinois FBLA, and I am ready for another exciting year!
