October Update
Happy turkey month everyone! October has been a busy month finalizing everything for our Fall District Meeting, making sure that it is memorable for all that attend! Keep a look out for your newly inducted District Officer team coming soon. They will be assisting me in making sure our district’s morale is high, that all chapters have help with fundraising, and ultimately growing our district as a whole. They are another resource for you should you need any help in your chapters!
Over the next few months, I will be more active on social media as SDM, testing, and POW deadlines approach. All the tips, tricks, and resources you need will be in the palm of your hand. Again, if you have any specific questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at svp9@nysfbla.org. I will reach back out as soon as I can.
I encourage you and your chapters to keep preparing for the State Leadership Conference in April. It may seem a long way away, but I promise the preparation is worth it when you arrive.
I hope everyone has an amazing November!
September Update
Happy October everyone! September has been a busy month ensuring our Fall District Meeting will be as amazing as it can be! Please be sure to check out your emails for the registration mailing for FDM and please consider applying for District Office! Your main role in District Office is to work with me in encouraging our district to get more involved as well as expanding our district. Please email me with any questions!
Start getting excited for our Fall District Meeting! To remind you all, we will be holding our FDM at Bryant and Stratton College in Syracuse, NY on November 1, 2024, which will begin at 9am. We will be preparing you for your endeavors into our Spring District Meeting, the State Leadership Conference, and the National Leadership Conference! Also, please continue saving your change for our Chapter Coin Challenge!
I have faith that we will have an awesome Fall District Meeting. If you need any help with FBLA-related matters, feel free to contact me at svp9@nysfbla.org or on my FBLA Instagram. See you all in November!
August Update
Happy new school year, everyone! It is almost time to officially begin the FBLA Membership Year in your chapters. As the school year starts, make sure to keep updated with your advisors and I as to not miss any important updates or events!
Our Fall District meeting is just around the corner! As usual, we will be holding our FDM at Bryant and Stratton College in Syracuse, NY on November 1, 2024, which will begin at 9am. Our agenda includes workshops from multiple successful businesspeople who are ecstatic to share their expertise with you. Also included are team bonding activities and District Officer interviews. The District Officer application will be sent out in registration mailing and is also available on my official FBLA Instagram, summer.fbla. Make sure to save your spare change, because chapters will also participate in a Coin Challenge to help raise funds for our state charity, St. Jude. We encourage you to participate to help us donate to an amazingly influential organization.
This year promises to be exciting and busy. If you need any help with FBLA-related matters, feel free to contact me at svp9@nysfbla.org or on my FBLA Instagram. Best of luck as we start the new year!
July Update
Hello, New York FBLA! I am Summer Trevino, your District 9 State Vice President for the 24-25 year! I am overjoyed to serve on the State Officer team this year and honored to collaborate meaningfully with all chapters and districts.
State Officer Training was held recently in Greenwich for a week in July, and I and the rest of the officer team have achieved so many things over that week. We grew as professionals and worked tirelessly to ensure that over the year, we would provide quality work to represent NYS FBLA. We worked on several projects, which includes the new Program of Work competitions (which I highly encourage everyone to participate in!), choosing the new State Charity, where we will be donating to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital this year, and brainstorming on how to grow our organization. Our progress at this training session has heightened my confidence in what we can do during the rest of this year.
As the new school year approaches, chapters and districts have a fresh opportunity to fully engage with all that FBLA truly is. One of my goals is to show new and current members that FBLA is more than just a business organization; it is an enjoyable and fun chance to expand their horizons, create lasting bonds, and grow personally. To highlight all FBLA has to offer, I plan to visit as many schools as possible that do not yet have FBLA chapters, presenting information to them and attempting to grow our district as well as our network. I will also visit current FBLA schools to discuss various topics, such as the Program of Work, State Office, and the State and National Leadership Conferences. These efforts will also be incorporated into our Fall and Spring District Meetings as well as several fun workshops.
I could not be more excited to work with NYS FBLA and make this the best year yet! If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or just want updates, please email svp9@nysfbla.org or check out my FBLA Instagram, @summer.fbla.
