Recent Events:
State Leadership Conference (SLC) – April 3-4, 2009
Each year, members from the Illinois PBL chapters converge in Effingham for the State Leadership Conference.  The weekend is jam-packed with competitive events, workshops, officer elections, and social activities!  This conference serves as a precursor to what can be expected at the National Leadership Conference later in the summer. 
 
National Leadership Conference (NLC) – June 20-23, 2009 in Anaheim California
FBLA-PBL members have the competitive edge, as the best and brightest of FBLA and PBL convene to compete in leadership events, share their successes, and learn new ideas about shaping their career future through workshops and exhibits. This four-day conference is considered the pinnacle of the FBLA-PBL experience, especially for those running for national office. FBLA-PBL has forged partnerships with industry leaders to underwrite competitive events and scholarships for students achieving national ranking.

We're looking for potential speakers and accepting names for people who want to attend the State Leadership Conference.  This is a great opportunity to meet people and learn how to succeed!
