The FBLA National Conference in Dallas, Texas, is quickly approaching! Tens of thousands of members from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, France, and Germany will be on hand for the biggest student organization event of the year.

The 2003 national convention will hopefully be the largest on record, both in attendance and exhibitors. Students from all across America will be competing in business-related events, attending workshops, and touring business facilities. This year's convention is scheduled for June 24th - 27th. For more information, visit theFBLA-PBL national website, or the official Dallas Convention website.

The Alabama FBLA State Convention is also just around the corner. This year's convention will be held in Birmingham, April 2nd and 3rd. Our chapter always has a group of members compete at state, and we wish all of them the best of luck!

This year, chapter President Josh Hilley is campaigning for District VI Vice President. Josh hopes to create new methods of communication between chapters, just one of the improvements he will propose if elected. We hope you will all come out and support Mr. Hilley.
