Community Service

This year, our chapter of FBLA will continue to be highly involved in projects that will benefit our community. We are looking for enthusiastic FBLA members to join in this committee to help others in many rewarding ways. This year, we have planned many events, such as visiting senior citizens in hospitals during the holidays and continuing our participation in the March of Dimes program as well as several new projects. Community Service is an integral part of our program of work because we believe that an inherent sense of service is an important quality to foster and develop in our future business leaders.
School Service

School Service

Our School Service committee has been organized to contribute to the well being of the school. The committee’s goal is to find the most effective means by which FBLA can assist the school and its administration. Some ideas for the year include a mural, faculty appreciation, as well as a bulletin board.

Fundraising

The fundraising committee consists of creating fun activities that will simultaneously generate a profit for FBLA. Candy sales at the Old Bridge Fair, Datamatch, Otis Spunkmeyer cookie sales are just a couple of fundraisers that are planned for this school year. This committee brainstorms unique ways of raising money while keeping it interesting for the members and students of OBHS. Being part of this committee will give you an opportunity to tune your leadership skills, and work on team activities.

FBLA Week

FBLA Week will be starting the 2nd week of February. It’s a week filled with activities celebrating and honoring FBLA. This committee’s objectives are to create and organize these events. This is a very special week, celebrated throughout the entire country.

Partnership with Business

This committee will focus extensively on incorporating our local business community into the Future Business Leaders of America organization. Our first major event will be an FBLA Career Night. We will also be networking with professionals to get speakers during the school day to speak to FBLA members as well as students in business classes. If you are interested in helping with FBLA Career Night or being involved with professionals in the business community, then you should definitely be on the Partnership with Business committee.

Social

Because our chapter is so large, it's important to have a committee that is in charge of bringing the members together. The Social Committee will work with the other committees on activities that will involve the members. Some goals we have this year for this committee include joint-chapter projects, social events within our chapter, and working to start a Middle Level chapter. If you are looking to earn some extra points, then coming to a Social Committee meeting is a good idea!
