July Update
Hello, New York State FBLA. My name is Anna Carlson, and I am a rising senior at Falconer Central School. I am proud to serve as your District 13 State Vice President for the 2023-2024 year.

I hope everyone enjoyed their summer and is ready for a successful FBLA year. My goals for District 13 for the upcoming year are to increase membership in my district, as well as increase communication between chapters in my district. Another goal I am going to work hard to achieve is increasing the District 13 representation in the SLC Slideshows. In order to help do so, don’t forget to send pictures of your chapter actives to  svp13@nysfbla.org.

Our district meetings are already in the works. Mark your calendar and be sure you don’t miss out on the exciting workshops, competitions, and more!
