Greetings Kentucky FBLA Members and Advisers!
With excitement and great anticipation, I welcome you to what I hope will be Kentucky FBLA’s biggest and best year yet. I am both honored and humbled to serve as your state adviser with our esteemed State Chair, Board of Directors, State Executive Council and State Officer Team.
I look forward to seeing growth in both middle and high school chapters, learning more about roles and opportunities at regional and national fall conferences, and watching your hard work pay off in region and state level competition. It is my hope to work alongside you and your chapters to ensure Kentucky FBLA is ready to represent in Anaheim next summer!
I wish each of you nothing but the very best this year “Navigating the Landscape with Kentucky FBLA”! Sheena Searcy, State Adviser
