BEFORE FBLA WEEK CHECKLIST (as provided by National FBLA):
Watch the FBLA Week preview video in which the National Officers highlight the week’s many festivities. This video will be available in mid-January on the FBLA Week website.
Raise money for the FBLA Week fundraising competition, which runs from January 9 to February 9. Chapters can raise money for any local charity and will report the amount raised and provide documentation on the FBLA Week: Service Sunday Fundraising Competition Form. (suggestion: consider raising money for Special Olympics Pennsylvania)
Make sure your state officers and leaders know of your accomplishments so they can share them in the state chapter success stories.
Encourage students to create an adviser and state leader thank you graphic with a photo and submit it via this form by February 1.
Ask your local and state officials to proclaim February 11-17, 2024 as FBLA Week. View a sample proclamation here. Do you need your chapter's original charter date for the proclamation? Here's how to find out:
- Logon to FBLA Connect to manage your chapter.
- At the top, you will see your chapter's name in the blue bar at the top. Click once on your chapter's name.
-
That will take you to your chapter's information screen. Look for "charter date." Ignore any reactivation date information. This is what you are looking for. This is where you will also find your chapter number.
Alert local news media to your FBLA Week plans. Find a sample press release here.
Order FBLA products at fbla.org/shop to show your FBLA spirit throughout the week!
Sponsor a Blue and Gold Day for members to wear FBLA colors.
Tour a local business or sponsor a job-shadow day.
Make sure your school and community know about FBLA Week:
- Put up flyers and/or posters announcing FBLA Week around your building or campus. Your Student Government Association may be a helpful partner in this.
- Submit a segment to your school’s morning news program or request that FBLA Week be included in your school’s morning announcements.
- Submit an item to your school’s faculty announcements with details about how long your FBLA chapter has been active at your school, how many members you have, and some of your recent accomplishments.
- Hold an interest meeting and invite potential new FBLA members to attend FBLA Week events.
- Follow the other suggestions in the media outreach section later in FBLA Week Guide.
