Georgia FBLA has created other state projects to benefit our members. Additional projects may be developed and implemented throughout the year, as necessary.
SERVICE!
Helping Tomorrow’s Future Business Leaders
Our primary state service project for 2011-2012 will continue our work to raise money and awareness for the fight against birth defects. We will partner with the March of Dimes. Chapters are also encouraged to hold educational seminars to teach other teenagers ways to prevent premature births.
MONOPOLY® Team and Bingo for Babies Tournaments
Join thousands of members in the largest MONOPOLY® Tournament in the world! Preliminary rounds will be held at the Fall Leadership Conference and the Middle Level State Leadership Conference. A special Bingo for Babies Tournament will also be held at our Region and State Leadership Conferences. Proceeds from both of these tournaments benefit the March of Dimes.
EDUCATION!
The Real World
The purpose of this project is to provide students with invaluable insight into the “real world” as well as give them direction as they embark on the challenge of choosing the right career in which to focus.
Savvy Surfing
This project focuses on teaching chapter, school, and community members about issues regarding Internet safety and usage.
