Good Luck Central Section at the State Leadership Conference.
CSLC Recap:
April 15-18 The Hyatt Hotel, Irvine, California
By: Shelina Noorali Executive Secretary On Saturday, February 27, Monache High School hosted the 2010 Central Section Leadership Conference. The conference had over five hundred and sixty-five members present, and there was an overall of twentyfive chapters that attended. For those members who were not competing or had finished with their events, three workshops were offered with topics ranging from SAT tips to securing a successful future. After the competitive events, everyone was transported over to McDermont Field House in Lindsay, California, where they have over 60,000 square feet of attractions including: indoor surfing, two indoor soccer fields, the world’s second largest laser tag arena, and basketball courts. After lunch, the officers conducted the annual March of Dimes drawing, announced election results, and held chapter-bonding activities during the time allotted for awards. From everyone on the Central Section team, we congratulate each and every one of you and wish you luck on your competitive events!
President’s Corner Hello again Central Section! As we begin the last few months of this FBLA year, all I can say is that this year has surely gone by quickly. For many of us, this may be our last few months with this organization and I strongly urge those of you to make this short amount of time count. Do not hold back or have any regrets. I hope that you have all submitted your California FBLA state projects, including, but not limited to, the FBLA Goes Green chapter and individual projects, the Government Awareness Project, and the Internship Project. Also, if you have attended all of the conferences thus far this year, you can earn a special recognition at the section meeting during the State Leadership Conference just by registering and attending the state conference. Also, I would like to congratulate all of those members who were in attendance at the 2010 Central Section Leadership Conference at Monache High School on February 27, 2010. This year’s conference had an increase of seven chapters from last year and the nearly six hundred attendees contributed to the record number of participants for any Central Section Leadership Conference. I hope everyone also enjoyed his or her time spent at McDermont Field House in Lindsay. I personally was elated to see the avid involvement at McDermont’s laser tag arena, which is California’s largest arena for laser tag. A big thank you also goes out to all of the new or reactivated chapters that attended this year’s section conference. I wish all the incoming officers of the Central Section Team of 2010-2011 good luck. Finally, be sure to check out the California FBLA, Twitter, and Facebook accounts, as well as the CAFBLA forum. Once again, see you all at the State Leadership Conference and good luck in your competitions. Make sure we show the other sections in California that Central Section is superior! http://cafbla.prophpbb.com/ http://twitter.com/CAFBLA
