Who elects the officers of state chapters in FBLA?

State chapter members are the ones responsible for electing the officers of state chapters in FBLA. This process empowers the members of the state chapter to have a direct voice in their leadership and ensures that the officers represent the collective interests and goals of the chapter members. By allowing state chapter members to vote, the organization fosters a democratic environment where members can take an active role in shaping their chapter's direction and initiatives.

Local chapter members, while involved in their own local elections, do not participate in the officers' election at the state level. State advisors provide guidance and support but do not have the authority to elect state officers. The FBLA national president holds a significant role but does not elect state chapter officers; rather, that responsibility is entirely in the hands of state chapter members. This structure emphasizes the importance of member engagement and representation within the organization.
