Professional Division Membership Project

Professional members represent an important and special resource for California FBLA.  Professional members serve as local chapter volunteers, provide training and workshops, coach members in competitive events, and assist in many other ways that make our chapters function smoothly.  Additionally, a portion of their membership dues supports California FBLA's scholarship program.  Chapters that recruit ten (10) or more professional members will automatically receive special recognition at the State Leadership Conference (see guidelines for deadlines)
