Who can serve on the National Council for FBLA?

The National Council for FBLA consists of active members who are currently involved in the organization at the high school level. This inclusion of active members ensures that the Council has perspectives directly representative of the student body, allowing for decisions and policies that reflect the interests and needs of current FBLA members. Engaging high school members fosters a connection between leadership and the day-to-day experiences of those participating in the organization, enhancing its relevance and effectiveness.

Other choices do not fit the criteria for serving on the National Council. Only teachers and advisors may have valuable insights, but they are not considered active members. State officers, while they are involved at a higher level, represent a specific segment rather than the general membership of high school students. Lastly, while any member who has graduated has been involved in FBLA, they would not be able to contribute current, student-focused viewpoints since their active participation in the organization has concluded. Hence, the active involvement of high school members is essential for the Council's purpose and representation.
