Naman Kapoor

Hello New York State FBLA! My name is Naman Kapoor, and I am honored to serve as

your 2026–2027 State Parliamentarian. I am a rising senior at Williamsville East High School in

Buffalo, New York, and I cannot wait to work with members, advisers, and my fellow State

Officers to make this year an unforgettable one.

I joined FBLA during my freshman year, not knowing just how much of an impact this

organization would have on me. What started as a way to explore my interests in business

quickly became one of the most important parts of my high school experience. Through chapter

involvement, competing at conferences, attending the State Leadership Conference, and

qualifying for the National Leadership Conference twice, I have had the opportunity to meet

incredible people, develop my confidence, and grow as a leader. My experiences at NLC

especially showed me how powerful FBLA is in bringing together thousands of driven members

from across the country who all share the same passion for leadership and growth.

This year, as your State Parliamentarian, my goal is to make parliamentary procedure

more accessible and useful for every FBLA member. While parliamentary procedure can

sometimes seem complicated, I believe it is one of the most important tools we have to ensure

that every voice is heard and every meeting is organized, respectful, and productive. I hope to

provide resources, guidance, and support to chapter officers throughout the state so that

members feel more confident applying parliamentary procedure in their own chapters.

Outside of FBLA, I have always had a strong interest in business, finance,

entrepreneurship, and technology. I enjoy learning about how companies operate, exploring new

ideas, and finding ways to combine innovation with real-world impact. Outside of academics,

you can usually find me cheering on the Buffalo Bills, watching Formula 1, or spending time with

friends and family.

FBLA has given me some of my favorite memories, strongest friendships, and most

valuable experiences throughout high school, and I am excited to give back to the organization

that has given so much to me. I look forward to working with the State Officer Team and

connecting with members across New York to make the 2026–2027 year a successful one.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions, especially anything parliamentary procedure

related!
