    Presidents Message

    April, 2015

    Greetings Members and Advisers,

    Welcome to your State Leadership Conference!

    It has been a year since we were last together here in Hershey, and what a year it has been! Due to your commitment and initiative, PA FBLA has seen tremendous success this year in fundraising and recruitment. Additionally, thousands of members around the state have stepped up to the challenge of FBLAs competitive events program. This conference stands as the culmination of all of your hard work this year ; be proud that you have left your mark on FBLA, and get excited for the days ahead!

    Although competitive events take the main stage here at SLC, there are so many opportunities to take advantage of outside of the competitive realm. Be sure to spend your time meeting new people, and exploring your interests. There are so many incredible business leaders here who will be hosting seminars and workshops and are excited to give you their tips for success. Make sure to seek out speakers that interest you, and you will certainly take a lot away from this conference!

    On behalf of the entire state officer team, thank you all for giving us the opportunity to serve you this year ; it is your support and enthusiasm that continually inspired us to leave our mark on FBLA just as you have.

    I wish you luck if you are graduating this year, and I invite and encourage the rest of you to continue along on your journey with FBLA -- it only gets better each year!

    Thank you, and enjoy your conference!

    Regards,

    Sam KesslerPA FBLA President

    Open Competitive Events Program

    7. In the event of a tie, the first tiebreaker will be the same tiebreaker procedure as is used in other written objective tests and found in the PA FBLA Policy/Leadership Handbook. In the event the tie cannot be broken with the first tiebreaker, the tie will be broken by lottery as the second tiebreaker. Time is not a factor and will not be considered in breaking a tie.

    8. There are no formal written guidelines for these events. The content of each event is listed above.

    9. The contestants are required to comply with all dress code and name tag requirements.

    10. The testing procedure shall be:

    a. At 9:15 a.m., the test administrators will open the door to the testing room (The White Room of the Great American Hall), which is capable of seating approximately 500 students. A line will form outside the Great American Hall.

    b. The test administrator will permit the first 500 students to enter the room and be seated. Once all seats are filled, the doors will be closed. Tests will be distributed to those seated (students may request any one of the 12 different tests).

    c. The initial group of students will begin taking the test at the test administrators direction.

    d. As a student finishes a test, he or she will turn in the test to the test administrators and will then be required to leave the room.

    e. Once one student leaves the room, the test administrators will permit another student to enter the room and request a particular test.

    f. The process will continue for the 2 hour period of time.

    g. If a student wishes to take another test, he or she must leave the room and go to the back of the line to await entry. Students may take as many different tests in the 2 hour period as they can schedule, but they must leave the room each time and go to the back of the line.

    h. All testing will be stopped and papers collected promptly at 11:45 a.m., regardless of how much or how little time a student has had to work on the test he/she has in his/her possession.
