~PROGRAM OF WORK~ Holyoke FBLA officers met over the summer to create and compile this year’s program of work. Sections of the program of work include reasons to become a member of Future Business Leaders of America, FBLA Leadership Conference descriptions, community service projects, fundraising projects, a publicity section, and a section for other activities. The new programs of work were distributed and approved at the Welcome Back Social.

~CHAPTER MEETINGS~ At each meeting, a copy of the agenda as well as an updated balance sheet of each member’s fundraising money is given to all members. Each officer participates in the meeting by giving a report from the committee he or she chairs. The secretary is in charge of taking roll and preparing the minutes. The chapter meetings are every other Tuesday during lunch. Based on our point system, each meeting is worth one point for members who attend.

~COMMITTEE MEETINGS~ Chapter committee meetings are held during the activity period in FBLA Headquarters. An officer committee chairperson organizes and sets up the meetings. These meetings are necessary to ensure committees meet their goals for the year.

~FBLA LETTERHEAD~ Holyoke High School FBLA members have designed a letterhead. The Holyoke Chapter uses this to communicate with other chapters or with businesses in the community. This letterhead is also used for the agenda and minutes at meetings.

~INFORMATION CENTER~ Located on the bulletin board in the business room, the Information Center provides daily announcements as well as FBLA news. Members are able to see all vital FBLA information in one area.
