National FBLA-PBL Week [February 10-16, 2008]

• FBLA-PBL sets aside the second week of February each year as National FBLA-PBL Week. • Chapters are encouraged to use this time to publicize their activities and successes, boost their

membership, and gear up for their spring activities. • In addition, FBLA-PBL recognizes the Wednesday of this week as Adviser Appreciation Day.

Members are encouraged to use this day to pay special tribute to the dedicated individuals who make the association possible on the local level.

• Many chapters plan special activities for each day of the week. These include everything from Professional Attire Day to FBLA-PBL T-shirt Day to Faculty Appreciation Day and Career Awareness Day. As FBLA-PBL Week coincides each year with National Career & Technical Education Month, this is an excellent time to inform the public about the purpose of school-to-work activities and programs in general. The momentum of a national event provides the perfect occasion to spotlight the value of membership and of career education.

• Here are our activities for Monday-Friday:• Monday: Make an announcement in your classes about FBLA-PBL Week and the importance of

joining student organizations. Talk to teachers/professors and gain their support! Sponsor a second semester recruitment drive.

• Tuesday: Sell March of Dimes bears (a great Valentines Day gift!) and Valentines Balloons to raise awareness of FBLA-PBL at your school.

• Wednesday: Honor your advisers by bringing coffee and doughnuts for them. • Thursday: Join your fellow FBLA-PBL members nationwide in wearing business attire to school or

work. Be sure to take a photo and e-mail it to communications@fbla.org.• Friday: Hold a reception for school administrators, advisers, members, and local business partners.

Plan a social for your chapter members—meet for a group dinner, host a volleyball tournament, sip some lattes at a coffee shop, or go out dancing!
