OAT DAY: Here's a quick reminder that the Gold Coast Section OAT (Officers' and Advisers' Training) Day is just around the corner.  The event will be on Saturday, September 27, 2008 at Exposition Park next to the California Science Center in Los Angeles.  Registration will begin approximately at 8:45 AM and the event will end no later than 3:00 PM.  The event includes workshops, lunch, time to work with your chapter, and an IMAX movie.  Registration forms will be available in mid-August. We will announce the registration fee and the official schedule in the next couple weeks. Keep checking this website for more details.

The Gold Coast Section Officer team just came back from the 2008-2009 State Leadership Summit (July 7-9) in Morgan Hill, CA.  

We created two new pages on the site, check them out!

• 2007-2008 State Project Results:  Gold Coast had an amazing year and our involvement in every State Project highlights the great things each chapter accomplished. Visit this page to see where Gold Coast stands in comparison to the other California sections and to find out which chapters helped make this success possible.
  

• 2008-2009 B.I.G. Goals: We drafted our 2008-2009 goals for membership and state project involvement at the State Summit this week.  Check out this page to review our section goals and to find out how your chapter can earn recognition for completing state projects.
  

State projects are a great way to get honored for the programs your chapter already completes. There are a number of quick ways to complete these projects and both your section officers and fellow Gold Coast chapters are excited to help.  Feel free to ask us questions about this or any FBLA topic by leaving comments on the Gold Coast Blog.

We're back from the California State Leadership Summit (Section and State Officer Training).  We'll have more details about our projects and goals in the next couple days, but for now here are some pics from the event:
