Chapter management and organization Members and officers of the Elmwood-Murdock Chapter of FBLA have increased their managerial and organizational skills. These aspects of chapter operation are essential for a productive, efficient organization.     Summer Officer Meeting On July 26, 2004, the newly elected 2004-2005 officers met at the Elmwood-Murdock High School business room. The agenda for the meeting included discussion on the following items: chapter theme, National Leadership Conference, National Fall Leadership Conference, and the Nebraska State Leadership Conference.     Program of Work The local officers took part in a summer executive meeting in order to plan for the upcoming year. The local theme was set as “Turn It Up With FBLA.” Local goals were also set.     Video Flashback During the school year and at the State Leadership Conference, Allie Nielsen, took a large number of digital photographs. A PowerPoint presentation was developed and shown to members and parents at the Awards Program.     Scrapbook/Yearbook Local historian, Angie Buck, spent hours creating a well-organized scrapbook for State Conference. Some of the pictures taken for the scrapbook will also be utilized in the school yearbook.     Publication Distribution Tomorrow’s Business Leader and the Pledge, national and state publications, were used to inspire ideas and activities for chapter involvement. Chapter reporter, C.J. Ronhovde, assembled the Gazette, a compilation of short explanations about FBLA activities.     Parliamentary Procedure All regular and special meetings in 2004-2005 were conducted according to parliamentary procedure. ROBERT’S RULES OF ORDER, NEWLY REVISED, was used to guide the officers in running meetings efficiently. Officers prepared a skit and enacted different motions each month during a time called, “Parli Pro Moments” to help members understand parliamentary procedure.
