FBLA is a local, state, and national organization of young people preparing for success as leaders in business, government, and communities. Our mission is to bring business and education together in a positive working relationship through leadership and career development programs. The Future Business Leaders of America organization is for high school students interested in a business or business-related career. To join, students must pay national, state, and regional dues. Currently, the dues to join the Bridgeport chapter are $15.00 which includes dues at all levels ($7 goes to national dues, $5 to state dues, and $3 to regional dues). If paying the dues presents a hardship for any member, the student should see the advisor to discuss the situation. Several community members are willing to hire FBLA members to help defray membership costs. |

| The Bridgeport chapter officers are elected by the membership at the last meeting of the school year. Officers are responsible for all FBLA activities. New officers may attend an officer's training workshop in the fall and participate in officer meetings to discuss organization strategy. | |||||||||||||||||||

The FBLA members who placed at the Winter Conference in February recieved the opportunity to compete at the State Leadership Conference April 4-7, 2007 in Spokane. We arrived Wednesday and were able to relax at the beautiful Double Tree Hotel. The following morning was when the competitions took place. We also were able to hear presentations by colleges, businesses, and inspirational keynote speakers. We had lots of fun! Danielle M. took home 5th place in FBLA Principles and Procedures which qualifies her to attend the National Leadership Conference in Chicago, Illinois in June. Way to go Danielle! Good job to all the FBLA members who attended the conference and tried their best! Members attending were:

The Bridgeport Chapter of FBLA attends leadership conferences throughout the year. At the regional conferences, Bridgeport members network with FBLA members from schools throughout North Central Washington. At the state conference, members meet students from all over Washington state. The conferences are expensive to attend as all costs are born by the FBLA organization. Our chapter organizes several fundraisers throughout the year to fund these conference trips. Members are usually asked to provide a nominal down payment as deposit to assure attendance since registrations are generally non-refundable. |
