What is the role of local chapter officers?

The role of local chapter officers is primarily to lead and manage their respective chapters. This involves a range of responsibilities, including setting goals for the chapter, coordinating meetings, facilitating communication among members, and ensuring that the chapter is functioning effectively within the guidelines of the FBLA organization. Officers are tasked with making decisions that affect the chapter and are often responsible for motivating other members to achieve success in their activities.

While organizing local competitions, mentoring new members, and evaluating chapter projects are important activities, they fall under the broader umbrella of leadership and management. Officers play a key role in organizing these events and initiatives but their essential function is to guide the overall operations and strategic direction of the chapter.
