Who is an Officer?
Being an Iowa FBLA Officer is a privilege afforded for only those members deserving of the experience. Being an Officer is not about being seen in the public eye or about gaining extra recognition but instead about serving the 3,900+ members of our organization. Being an Officer requires a great deal of work, effort, and sacrifices. In return, officers will be greatly rewarded by discovering an experience unmatched by any other. Officers also have the privilege of receiving many opportunities, training, and experiences that will last a lifetime.
