Dear PA FBLA Advisers
Next Monday, February 6, is the deadline for PA FBLA local chapter advisers to complete and submit their applications for the PA FBLA Local Market Share Award to be announced at the Opening General Session on Monday, April 17.
Your chapter can't win an award if you don't apply! Only those who apply are considered.
What is the Local Market Share Award?
ALL chapters are eligible to apply for the Local Market Share Award at the state AND national levels. This award recognizes FBLA chapters who have the highest percentages of members of their school population as members of their FBLA chapter.
What information do you need to know?
-
Current year’s paid membership (you can sign on to the National FBLA membership system and check your totals; click "view paid students" to see the total of paid members)
-
Total school enrollment (this is either your grades 9-12 enrollment only in your school OR your school’s grade level configuration (examples: grades 10-12 are only in your school)); this will need to come from your school office.
-
Calculate the Local Market Share % (paid membership divided by total school enrollment = market share percentage (display to two decimal places: example: 29.50%))
-
Fill out the following online forms: (top 10 SLC awards are presented at the Opening Session; only those who apply are eligible)
For both applications, you will need your chapter # (aka school ID). Two years ago, every chapter was assigned a new number. Sign on to the National FBLA membership system for your new chapter # (aka school ID). When you choose to manage your chapter, you will see your chapter # (aka school ID) immediately below your school name.
