Fundraising is a key component to running any effective chapter. By doing it so it allows your chapter to lower the cost burden that it takes members to attend events such as SLC & NLC. This week we feature Mcfatter Technical High School in Davie, FL. Earlier this fall their BPA Chapter spent the day working at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL. This is a really quick and efficient way to raise a lot of money. What are some ways that your chapter raises funds?
Florida BPA will be hosting it's 20th Annual State Leadership Conference on February 20-23rd. The leadership experience will be packed with competitions, development workshops, State Officer elections, and several other opportunities. Top placers from Florida BPA's SLC will earn their right to represent Florida at the National Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C.
The way we handle conflict can either stop progress and communication all together, or create deeper and more meaningful collaboration. Your mindset when entering conflict is what sets you apart. As you continue to collaborate this year, think of every potential conflict as a space for growth, as well as an opportunity to connect on a deeper level with your teammates.
"BPA allowed me to gain an enormous amount of skills like the correct way to act in a professional setting, how to network, speaking confidently in front of a group of people, effective leadership and so much more. Overall, BPA was an opportunity to receive a taste of the professional world at a young age that was fun, competitive and exciting."
