July Update
Hello District 4! As some of you might know I am Ava Jump, and I will be serving as your District 4 SVP. Before I get into my agenda for this year I would like to tell you a little bit about me. I will be a junior at Sharon Springs Central School, and I have been in FBLA since I was a freshman. I play soccer, basketball, and softball. In my free time I like to bake, especially cakes. I hope to pursue a career in pastry arts and eventually own my own business, but I am also keeping accounting in the back of my mind.
My goals for the year are to unite our district with engaging activities for all chapters and increase our membership by both recruiting more members for current chapters and creating new ones. I will work closely with the State Officer team, especially with your State Secretary, Yasmin Issa, to ensure I complete these goals.
One of the most important things to me is communication so I welcome you to reach out to me with any questions, comments, or concerns. You can do this by sending me an email at svp4@nysfbla.org or reaching out to me via Instagram at avajump.fbla. Once again, I am so excited to be serving as your District 4 SVP and I am looking forward to a great year with you all!
