Hello New York State FBLA! My name is Addeleide Reynolds, and I am beyond thrilled to serve

as your State Secretary for the 2026–2027 State Officer Team. I am a rising sophomore at

Clymer Central School and a part of District 13. Before diving into what this past month has

brought, I’d love to share a little bit about myself! I am passionate about music and play three

instruments: the guitar, piano, and flute. My music taste spans rock bands like Chevelle, Linkin

Park, Soundgarden, and The Offspring, as well as pop artists like Dominic Fike and Chase

Atlantic. Outside of music, I love filmmaking, photography, writing, and exploring all forms of

art.

This month has proven to be quite busy! Between attending State Officer Training in

Greenwich, New York, planning a multitude of local chapter activities, and prepping for the

2026–2027 FBLA year, our team has been hard at work. While at State Officer Training, the

State Officer Team produced this Program of Work and selected our state charity: The

American Red Cross.

I know that our hard work at State Officer Training will pay off so every member can have an

amazing FBLA experience. I encourage everyone to maintain their membership and help recruit

new members! FBLA is an incredible organization to be a part of, setting us up for future career

success. I also highly encourage everyone to participate in this year’s Program of Work—the

activities are both fun and rewarding. If you have any questions or simply want to say hello, feel

free to reach out at secretary@nysfbla.org!
