Dear PA FBLA Advisers
As part of the SLC registration process, local chapter advisers had the ability to register their "paid" qualified SLC members for up to five different open competitive events -- in addition to their regular competitive event.
There were 15 different events from which to choose per paid qualified attendee. There were a lot of registrations completed by the deadline, but there are multiple advisers asking if they can add students to the open competitive events program. This is your last opportunity to do that, and your spreadsheet must be emailed to me no later than this Thursday, March 16, by 4:00 pm.
These are the guidelines to be followed:
-
Download this linked Excel registration spreadsheet to your local computer.
- Enter the name of the student already qualified, registered, and paid for the state conference if you have students wishing to participate in the open events.
- Place an X on the line in the columns representing the maximum of five open competitive events you wish the student to take.
-
DO NOT enter a student's name that you have already registered for open events.
-
DO NOT change open events registrations for any student.
-
When complete, email the spreadsheet to bboncal@pafbla.us as an attachment with the following in the subject line: Open Competitive Events
There are no standards, tasks, or any study materials for the open competitive events.
Open competitive events will be administered the week of March 27-31. Passcodes should be delivered to advisers during March 22-24. The events are NOT open book, open notes, open research. The open events must be completed in school.
The Top 10 in each open competitive event will be shown on the screens at the Opening Session on Monday night, August 17. The first-place winners will be called to the stage to receive their awards certificate.
The 15 open competitive events are:
- Cloud Computing
- Current Events
- Data Security
- FBLA Creed & Conduct & Pledge
- Financial Literacy
- Job Readiness
- Macroeconomics
- Microeconomics
- Non-Profit Management
- PA FBLA Policies & Procedures
- Public Relations
- Python Programming
- Retail Management
- Statistical Analysis
- Stock Market & Investments
If you are not sure what students you have registered for open events AND what events you have registered them for, email Bruce Boncal and I will send you a list of students and their open events previously registered for your chapter.
