Pennsylvania FBLA Update
Upcoming Regional (RLC)/State-Only Competitive Events
Zoom Meetings/Trainings for Advisers AND Students
Dear PA FBLA Advisers

As we move into competitive events season, there are a series of PA FBLA "Learn" Zoom meetings scheduled for both advisers AND students. Advisers should consider attending (especially new advisers), and advisers should encourage their students to participate to learn about the Region Leadership Conference (RLC) competitive events program.

By the way, there is a difference in the sessions between Regional (RLC) Competitive Events and State-Only Competitive Events. They are two different things, but they are related.

The purpose of the Zoom meetings is to provide and overview/background on what events are available and how to plan with your students to give everyone an opportunity to compete and prepare.

Please share this with your students and encourage them to register and participate.

The schedule is:
everyone must pre-register for they would like to attend

Sunday-Monday, October 30-31 — FBLA PA State Leadership Workshop — Special RLC Competitive Events Boot Camps (times found on SLW app)
For those in attendance at the SLW at the Kalahari Poconos Resort, Derek Selleck, Competitive Events Coordinator, will be offering specialized “boot camps” on how to be successful at the Region Leadership Conference. We strongly encourage students to attend the SLW and participate in the workshops to learn to “be the best you can be” when competing at the RLCs (and the state conference too). There is no pre-registration; there are no remote broadcasts.

There is much to be learned by students and advisers. Please plan to participate; register now. Please make sure your students know of the schedule and have the opportunity to register. For those attending the SLW, don't forget the in-person "boot camps."
Remember, each region will establish its own schedules within the parameters set by the Pennsylvania FBLA state office. More information will be coming from your region advisers through their planning meetings and schedules that will be established.

RLC registration will open for all regions on Monday, November 7, and you will have an extended period to register your students for your RLC competitive events via Blue Panda, our conference management system, based on the schedule provided by your region adviser.

Blue Panda registration instructions for advisers will follow before the end of October as it serves no purpose now since RLC registration will not be seen and available until November 7. For now, use this RLC planning document as your guide (pdf file):
