that is a huge club in my school... you have to choose and actually make an effort to be an active member. it can be fun depending on your interests. we have had motivational speakers come and talk to us about how businesses work, we adopt a family at christmas time, we eat a lot, we go to rally every year (not all of us, a few students go). we also have a COE class. i don't know if you have that in Pennsylvania, that is cooperative office education. thats where you get an office job as a senior and leave school after lunch. we have to be a part of FBLA to be eligible for to participate in COE. anyway, we do fundraisers and next year will be my first year to be an officer of this club, i'll let you know how that goes soon. talk to the teacher or sponsor of the club and they will be able to tell you more about what will be going on in your area.

I am President of the chapter at my school. Not only that, but I reactivated it this year. I recommend it, not only does it get you incredible skills for dealing and working in the professional world, but you meet amazing people from across your city, state, and country. The main thing is the state conference. Besides that you pretty much do community service activities here and there.
