Student State Officers
The South Carolina FBLA State Officer Team is composed of postsecondary students that are either elected by their peers or appointed by state staff on an annual basis. This dedicated team of student leaders develops and implements the annual program of work, serves as a resource for the local chapters, and is an integral part of each of our events.
