American Enterprise ProjectAmerican Enterprise Day Ideas - FBLA can participate in American Enterprise day in a variety of ways. Here is an overview of what the day represents, and some ideas for our chapter. Please see your adviser or speak with an officer if you have any other ideas. November 15 is recognized by FBLA-PBL each year as American Enterprise Day. This date is set aside to salute and publicize the American free enterprise system and to teach others about it. Chapters celebrate American Enterprise Day through a wide range of activities, projects, and festivities. The scope of these activities varies by chapter size, budget, and ambition.
Examples of projects that have had success include the following. Promoting FBLA to Elementary Schools
FBLA-PBL sets aside the second week of February as FBLA-PBL Week. Chapters are encouraged to use this time to publicize their activities and successes, boost their membership, and gear up for their spring activities. In addition, FBLA-PBL recognizes the Wednesday of this week as Adviser Appreciation Day. Members are encouraged to use this day to pay special tribute to the dedicated individuals who make the association possible on the local level. Many chapters plan special activities for each day of the week. These include everything from Professional Attire Day to FBLA-PBL T-Shirt Day to Faculty Appreciation Day and Career Awareness Day. As FBLA-PBL Week coincides each year with National Career and Technical Education Month, this is an excellent time to inform the public about the purpose of school-to-work activities and programs in general. The momentum of a national event provides the perfect occasion to spotlight the value of membership and of career education. REFERENCE: Sample FBLA-PBL Week Proclamation RECRUIT-15. FBLA-PBL Community Service Day Take the Saturday of FBLA-PBL Week to dedicate solely to community service! Choose a community service project and implement it into your local chapter. As members dedicate their time to this service project, log the amount of time your chapter works by listing each member and hours worked on a spreadsheet. Suggested activities include working with the March of Dimes, volunteering at a homeless shelter, conducting a blood drive, developing community improvement projects, or developing a project with any other service organization.
