What to Do During 2025 SLC

As we get closer to the 2025 State Leadership Conference, check out a few events we have planned for throughout the week.

Open Events

Open Events for registered members at the State Conference for those not participating in an interview, performance, or presentation event will be available on Tuesday. There is no preregistration for these events.  It will be on a first-come, first-served basis.  A computer lab will be set up at the hotel for testing.  Details will be in your conference program. 

The top five winners will be recognized with a medal at the Awards Ceremony.  These winners do not advance to the National Leadership Conference.  These are Kentucky-only events.  Students are to take one test per student. Specific tests will be announced at a later date.

Election of State Officers

Each candidate for state office will give a two-minute campaign speech at the Opening General Session.

A Q & A session will be held on Tuesday at 3:00 PM. Only those delegates present for this Q & A will be eligible to vote for State Officers.  Delegate ribbons will be distributed at the Delegate Q & A Sign-In table. Only members with the ribbons will be permitted inside the Q & A and the voting session.  Delegates will sign in prior to entering both events.

Electronic voting will be used for the election.  Delegates will need to provide their own device.

 

KY FBLA Battle of the Chapter

Test your FBLA knowledge by competing against other chapters in the KY FBLA Battle of the chapters. More information will be coming soon.
