What is an essential requirement for a member to maintain Active Membership in FBLA?

To maintain Active Membership in FBLA, paying annual membership dues is a fundamental requirement. Membership dues serve as a vital source of funding for the organization, supporting various activities, events, and resources that benefit members. These dues ensure that individuals remain in good standing within the organization and can participate fully in all aspects of FBLA, including local chapter events and state or national conferences.

While participation in regional events, community service hours, and attending local chapter meetings are encouraged and may enhance a member's experience and involvement, none of these requirements are stipulated as essential for maintaining Active Membership status. The focus on dues underscores their importance in sustaining the operational framework of FBLA.
