Dear FBLA Advisers
2022-2023 Region Plans A-B-C-D
The Region Leadership Conference season, which extends through the end of January 2023, is the time when Pennsylvania's 29 regions hold their competitive events programs to qualify students for the April 17-19, 2023, State Leadership Conference in Hershey.
Pennsylvania FBLA uses a scale based on total paid membership shown on December 31 and the total number of active chapters (not including middle school chapters) in a region to determine how many students a region may qualify for the SLC. That scale, which will identify regions as Plan A, B, C, or D, forms the basis for the SLC attendance policy listed below. All regions are classified as Plan A; regions are classified as Plans B, C, and D when the state office analyzes paid membership by the December 31 deadline.
2023 State Leadership Conference Attendance Policy
The following are eligible to attend the 2023 SLC:
- FBLA advisers/SLC chaperones (no limit per chapter)
- Middle school members (no limit)
- State officers
- State/national officer candidates (not qualified as a competitor)
