October Update
Hello NYS FBLA, it’s Jasmitha again! October is one my favorite months of the year, with the leaves changing color, crisp autumn mornings, and pumpkin chai lattes! September has gone by in a breeze. With college application season wrapping up, I’m working on submitting all of the early action applications as I’m sure fellow seniors would agree. For underclassman, I would encourage all of you guys to definitely start thinking about what you want to major in and colleges you are interested in because it sneaks up on you fast. At district 12, we had our fall district meeting, and it was a huge success. It was great to meet other people from the WNY region. I hope everyone’s had a great time at their FDM or are looking forward to it in the future. Please text or email. any pictures of your fall district meetings and chapter meetings to @jasmithabfla , @newyorkfbla, or historian@nysfbla.org, and as always don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!
September Update
Hi everyone, I hope everyone had a nice start back to school. I’ve started my senior year off and while it has been busy, I’ve been trying to take it all in and enjoy it. With everyone back to school, I encourage all of you to sign up to become FBLA members and encourage your friends to join too! The early bird membership challenge has started and make sure that your chapter gets a ribbon by completing the requirements, more details can be found on our NYS FBLA website! Please dm me and pictures of your FBLA chapter kickstarting the year on @jasmithafbla, and as always don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions to historian@nysfbla.org.
August Update
Hello NYS FBLA, it’s Jasmitha again! I’m excited for this upcoming school year. I will be going into my senior year! I have been busy with FBLA, work, and enjoying the last bits of summer! I hope everyone is preparing for a great start to the school year with sports, summer assignments, and more! This summer has flown by quick. As a reminder, check out NYS’s program of works now available on the website. This membership year is going to be bigger and better than last year, so let’s get to work on recruiting new members and starting a chapter at your local school if you don’t have one!

July Update
Hello NYS FBLA, my name is Jasmitha Keesara, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as your new FBLA State Historian. As a rising senior at Williamsville East High School, I am excited for this upcoming year and to share my passion for FBLA with you all.
Since joining FBLA in September 2021, I have had the privilege of participating in several roles that have prepared me for this position. In addition to my passion for photography, I bring to this role a strong foundation in journalism, public speaking, and communications. These skills will enable me to effectively convey the richness and significance of our FBLA heritage to a wide
audience, further strengthening our organization’s impact and influence. My primary goal for this year as State Historian is to record and commemorate the history of NYS FBLA. My aim is to create a detailed and engaging historical record that reflects the accomplishments and passion of our members. I can’t wait to collaborate with all of you and look forward to upholding FBLA’s values and bringing recognition to our State through better documentation and social media rebranding!
I am excited to take on the role of your State Historian and look forward to working with all of you. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns at historian@nysfbla.org.
