Larissa Speerstra State President

Greetings Wisconsin FBLA! I’m Larissa Speerstra – your 2009-2010 State President. Wisconsin FBLA is into full-swing this fall, and believe it or not it’s never too early to start thinking about competitive events. In order to compete, your membership dues must be sent in no later than November 15. The next step is to review the 2009-2010 competitive events guidelines to choose the perfect event for you, and then inform your adviser so he or she can register you in December. In the meantime, familiarize yourself with the requirements for your event; even if you competed in an event last year, things could have changed. Finally, study and practice the information so you can do well at your Regional Leadership Conference this February. Also, if you have any competitive event related questions, please do not hesitate to ask! Always remember to make this year, "Simply the Best!"
