Meenakshi Chakravadhanula

Hi NYS FBLA! My name is Meenakshi Chakravadhanula, and I am honored to be serving as your District 8 State Vice President for the 2026-2027 school year. I am a rising senior at Vestal Senior High School and this will be my fourth year in FBLA, so I could not be more thrilled to give back to an organization that has given me so much.

I kicked off my summer at the National Leadership Conference, where I competed and met members from all over the country, and then attended State Officer Training, a long but rewarding week of planning with the rest of the State Officer team. Together we started shaping the projects that will define our year, and I am leaving both experiences confident in what our team can accomplish.

For the rest of the summer, my focus is on strengthening District 8, from improving communication between our chapters and the state level to prioritizing timely outreach and raising awareness of everything FBLA has to offer. I am especially excited to be helping host this year’s Fall and Spring District Meetings here at Vestal.

I cannot wait for this year of FBLA and for all of your POW submissions! Please feel free to reach out to me at svp8@nysfbla.org with anything you need. For updates, you can follow me at @meenakshic_fbla and our district at @district8.nysfbla.
