Tennessee FBLA Membership Campaign for 2017-18

Last school year was an incredible year for membership growth for Tennessee FBLA, and we want every chapter to reach new heights again this year by participating in our new membership campaign. This year, our goal is to exceed 7,000 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. 1. The Tennessee FBLA Membership Campaign  will certainly help you reach your chapter goals.

Tennessee CTSO Fall Leadership Conference (FLC) Registration

Each fall leadership conference is open to active and aspiring members of any of the seven Tennessee Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs). Only CTSO chapter advisors may register for these conferences.
 
All seven Tennessee CTSOs will come together this fall for three one-day regional leadership conferences. You are highly encouraged to attend the conference that is closest to your school. The conference registration fee is $30 per attendee and will include leadership training, a CTSO conference promotional item, and lunch. Conference registration for each location will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each FLC site will accommodate up to 850 attendees, so please register and submit your payments early.
