CHAPTER MANAGEMENT

NEW OR REACTIVATED
CHAPTERS

New and returning chapters may begin managing their chapter on August 1.
To get started, begin by submitting the new and returning chapter form. (Reactivating chapters
may also contact the membership team by emailing Eric Jones at ejones@fbla.org.)
Once a request is made, state advisers are automatically notified for follow-up. Within one or
two business days after approval from the state office, the chapter accounts are activated. The
local adviser is then given the password and login and instructions on how to register members
and contact information for your state adviser.
It is important to also contact your state adviser early in this process. Please contact your state
adviser if you do not hear from them within 24-48 hours so that they can get you added to state
specific communications and informed on upcoming state events.

DUES

As a membership organization, FBLA-PBL relies on dues to help support the mission. This includes, but is not limited to, program development, resources, training, technology, services
to chapters, and event production.
Knowing the exact amount of money to collect per member for dues is critical. When looking
at the amount of national ($6) and state dues (varies), also consider if you need to charge a
chapter dues fee to cover expenses or membership benefits. Several chapters charge dues that
are enough to cover a t-shirt and/or a district/region competition.
