Tennessee FBLA Membership Campaign
Last school year was a challenging year for membership growth for Tennessee FBLA, and we want every chapter to reach new heights this year by participating in our new membership campaign. This year, our goal is to exceed 6,000 members in Tennessee FBLA, and we cannot achieve this goal without you. Please remember there are great incentives and awards in place for increasing your chapter membership by Dec. 3. The Tennessee FBLA Membership Campaign will certainly help you reach your chapter goals.
