How is an FBLA Officer Selected?
The primary concern for choosing
a competent officer should be the ability to carry out the responsibilities
of office. Popularity is not necessarily the best measure. Although
officer candidates may not have a great deal of experience, they
must show a desire to learn and a willingness to invest time in
the performance of officer duties.
