PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
April 19, 2006
Dear Future Business Leaders
Congratulations! You have passed the test and qualified for this year’s state
conference. Today begins the 55th annual State Leadership Conference for Pennsylvania FBLA. You are among a select group of individuals that have found the key to
Unlock Your Potential. You have discovered hard work and dedication will provide
opportunities that once seemed unimaginable. You have passed the first audition on
your quest to the stage at the National Leadership Conference in Nashville, Tennessee,
this summer.
I would like to wish all competitors the best of luck for the upcoming two days as you
compete in your specific events. I encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to meet new people, attend workshops, share what exciting events take place in
other chapters, and most of all have fun! Don’t be afraid to talk to current state officers
and all of the candidates running for the 2006-07 state offices.
It has been my pleasure to serve the members of our organization for the past year.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I have met so many new people who have
made lasting impressions.
Congratulations for being a member of such a strong student organization. This year we
have once again reached new heights, and I thank each one of you for your commitment
to this organization. Good luck at your competitive events and please enjoy the
conference.
Sincerely,
Laura Barrett

help you, the FBLA member, reach your highest performance level. By doing this, you will be able to overcome any challenge that you may face as a
leader in FBLA.
You will have four key skills to concentrate
on during these sessions.
1. Professionalism
2. Effective Communication
3. Teamwork
4. Vision
With each session you attend,
you will improve your leadership skills and get one step
closer to being able to “Unlock
Your Potential.” Not only will
