It is time to get out those boxes full of Georgia FBLA materials and put them to good use! Your chapter received a chapter starter kit at GACTE or SLOTS in July. These boxes of recruitment information can help kick start your new chapter and will definitely continue to promote your chapter.
Here are a few ways to use your Chapter Planning Kit.
1. Spread the word
The best way to promote FBLA and your chapter is through spreading the word. Your chapter can talk to more than just prospective members but also the inform parents too. Start by handing out the cards and brochures to students throughout the school. This will give them a glance in this year’s theme “ Time to Shine,” as well as a snippet of how they can get involved. The cards and brochures are quick and easy to hand out while being an important role in the promotion of your chapter.
2. Publicize
The posters are a fun way to get students excited about this fantastic year in Georgia FBLA and how they can make it their Time To Shine! Posters are great to post on bulletin boards, walls around the school, or even better…an FBLA bulletin board for your chapter.
3. Inform your Chapter Officers
It is crucial to have your chapter officers informed on what is going on in Georgia FBLA this year. They are a great liaison between students and FBLA advisers. Officers are able to share their personal stories and thoughts on why they are a part of this organization to prospective members. Hand out chapter planning guides to your officers to they can share dates, membership campaigns, competitive events, and learn how to make this year your chapters “Time To Shine!”
Good luck on your membership recruitment this year and we hope your chapter has a fantastic year!
