Notes March 5, 2011

Dear Gold Coast FBLA, Welcome to the 2011 Gold Coast Section Leadership Conference!

Today, you will have the opportunity to prove your competitive excellence, network with members from other chapters, and attend workshops presented by top-notch business professionals. By taking the time to attend this conference, you are taking on the challenge to Suit Up for Success.

On behalf of the Gold Coast Leadership team, I want to congratulate your efforts in making 2010-2011 the most successful our section has ever been. Membership is record high, and I am so proud to see all that the chapters are accomplishing. Our hard work, however, does not stop here, as we still have State Leadership Conference in store for us. I look forward to meeting many of you and hope to see you all next month in Santa Clara. Best of luck today in your competitions!

Sincerely,

Leslie Chang 2010-2011 Gold Coast Section President
