About the Virginia FBLA Regional Structure
The State Chapter is organized into geographic regions, each centered around a state college or university. JSRCC Region is illustrated in the graphic below.
The purposes of the state's regional structure are:
• to provide opportunities for leadership development and participation in FBLA activities beyond the local chapter level.
• to provide an orderly and approved selection of participants in competitive events at the state level.
Each region has its own bylaws, officers, adviser, and director. The regional adviser is the adviser of the regional president's chapter, and the director is appointed by the State Chairman. Each regional president serves as a vice-president of the Virginia State Chapter.
FBLA Local Chapter Structure
A local FBLA chapter may be established in any school with a business education program. The teachers in the business department serve as chapter advisers.
The local chapter, operating under a charter granted by FBLA-PBL, Inc., conducts activities within the framework of the state and national organizations.
