Can you believe that the 2012 New Jersey FBLA State Leadership Conference is right around the corner? I can’t believe it has been three years since I attended my very first SLC!

One of the events at this year’s SLC is a Blue Jeans for Babies Dance. It will be held on the first night of the conference: Thursday, March 15. Remember to bring a few dollars to the dance in order to support the March of Dimes and participate in some other fun activities! FBLA has a wonderful partnership with the March of Dimes and I am excited to continue our support of the amazing charity at this year’s SLC.

If you have any questions about the dance, or community service in general, please email me at service@njfbla.org and I will be happy to help. I look forward to hopefully seeing many New Jersey FBLA members at the Blue Jeans for Babies Dance!

With the 2012 State Leadership Conference just around the corner, this is a friendly reminder to make sure all membership dues are sent to the National Office no later than March 1, 2012. Members must pay their dues and ensure membership if they wish to participate and compete at this year’s SLC in March as well as the National Leadership Conference to be held this summer. Chapters should check that dues were sent in for all members. If any members were added to a chapter after the year’s earlier membership registration they still must pay to participate and compete. NO EXCEPTIONS. If unsure for any reason about the status of dues, advisers should log onto the National website and view their membership status from there.

That being said, I look forward to seeing you all in a few weeks for the 2012 State Leadership Conference to be held at the East Brunswick Hilton. See you then!
