One of the major projects of the state chapter each year is the State Leadership Conference, which is held annually in April in Charlotte, NC.

The conference includes general sessions, business meetings, competitive events, officer elections, special-interest sessions, awards banquet, and social activities.

Each local chapter may enter up to two participants in each competitive event (with specific exceptions). The first- and second-place winners in all events with a national counterpart (with specific exceptions), and also third- place winners in test only events, are eligible to compete at the National Leadership Conference.

This conference provides an opportunity for NC FBLA-Collegiate members from local chapters across the state to share ideas and challenges. Full conference details, including registration forms and event entry forms, are sent to all chapters approximately six weeks prior to the conference.

SLC attendees learn valuable skills as a part of a Leadership Workshop Series including how to network, interview, and present yourself professionally.

Advisers and chapter officers should consider building programs around the competitive events sponsored by the state chapter. These events are designed to improve the abilities of all chapter members in a variety of areas including impromptu speaking, parliamentary procedure, business knowledge and skills, and the preparation of written and oral reports, etc.

Contact Dr. Kathie Doole for any questions about the State Leadership Conference.

Congratulations to our 2024 SLC and NLC award winners!
